What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I am very disappointed in the Aurora Tu. I have tried numerous flushes and many different kinds of ink and the pen will typically skip after a word or two. Then when it starts up again, it floods creating huge blots. No. I have had pens under $30 that were easier and better writers. Also note that it does not come with a converter or cartridges so that you'll have to buy them separately. Overall, I don't know if I have one bad pen or if the entire line is difficult. I've seen negative reviews. I was attracted to its stylish appearance, but I have NEVER in all my years of owning pens had one that was so difficult to get started.
