Q&A Slices: Should you always clean out a pen before its first use?

One’s first impulse when receiving a new fountain pen is to ink it up immediately to test it out. Lamy is well-known for recommending a flush first which makes me wonder if there are general steps you should always follow of what to do first when you receive any new pen? oh certainly, I always want to just ink it up right away! Whenever you get a new pen, it’s always best to look it over in detail first Is it in good shape? Does it have all the stuff that it’s supposed to come with? Does everything function as it should? Make sure it’s in proper condition, in case there was any reason you needed to return it, you won’t have inked it LAMY for sure you want to flush first, bc they leave a little bit of blue ink in there when they test it they want you to know that your pen was individually tested I know other companies test them too (TWSBI as one example) but LAMY’s the only one I know that leaves ink in it other pens, it’s always a good general practice to flush the pen before your first inking, just with water is fine you don’t really need to do anything beyond that, they pretty much come ready to go!
