Observation
I took my Pelikan M600 with me to our cabin (elevation 5600 ft).
Started to use it and had ink all over the pen and in the barrel. Guess I should turn back the piston pump before I go? Don |

Or fill it up all the way, so that there's not a lot of air in the barrel when the altitude changes. I'm not sure what you mean by "ink all over the pen and in the barrel". In the barrel, or in the cap? -- Steve My e-mail address works as is. |

In the barrel, or in the cap? I was reading the archives and Frank Dubiel said a lot of the leaking from pressure changes has to do with the ink in the feed and not the pen. Hold the pen nib up and clean with a tissue until no more ink comes out of the nib. The post was in relation to air travel. matthew ohio |

There was ink on the pen near the nib where you would hold it. I also cleaned some out of the cap with kleenex. I didn't pay much attention to how much ink was left in pen when I started. I noticed this didn't happen to my Namiki or Paker with cartridges. I agree with the empty or full concept, thanks for the input. Don |
