Visconti Double Reservoir Filling System

[Moruk]

When I fill my Visconti Opera Master Demo, it appears to fill only half way--that is, the ink in the barrel only appears to be half way up to the top. Is this normal or should the barrel be full of ink? The pen writes beautifully and requires no pressure at all on the page. I think the nib is one that has been discontinued. However, I am curious about the ink reservoir. Thanks to all.

I'm not sure if you're still interetsed in this quesiton or not but I just watched an interview with the founder of Visconti on gouletpens.com and the founder talks about the reservoir only filling half-way unless you use one of their traveling ink wells.

When you've filled it once, tip the pen upside down (nib up). Pull the plunger down, then push it back in until the rest of the air is pushed out of the reservoir. Submerge the nib, then push the plunger right in. You'll then have a full tank!
