Pens That Do Not Pen Very Well
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: S.M.
from Dubuque
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grip and weight of these pens are comfortable and would be easy to write with. I take a lot of hand written notes and the tip is too fine. The flow of the ink is so low that the writing is faint and hard to read on many different types of papers. These are a pass for me. I’d share a picture but you would t see it :-/

Staples ProGel Extra Fine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the Staples ProGel Extra Fine pens. They’re really lightweight and smooth. They dry instantaneously and have no smudging or smearing. They have a perfect gel ink that is bright yet thin due to the extra fine point. You won’t regret getting these!

No ink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great - except that they fail to fulfill the primary role of a pen - which is to write. Pros - these pens are so comfortable and have the best grip I’ve ever used. When I got the first one out of the box I was impressed. Cons - once I started writing it was immediately apparent that the ink was having a hard time flowing. It happens with pens when they’re brand new so I stuck it out thinking that this would work itself out. It didn’t. The ink flow was maybe 40% of what I would have expected. Even after writing for 2-3 days in my journal no improvement. I attempted to write with 2 additional pens from the box with the same issues. I gave up. Bottom line - if the ink cartridge issue was fixed these would be great. 👍

Great fine pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel retractable gel pens were fantastic and great to use! I love the fine print and its gel was actually very fast to dry so I never had any smears. The retractable functions of the pens are very smooth never have an issue so far of the pens not coming out or retracting. The pens also has a clip that you can clip the pen onto papers shirt or pants pockets or the front of a polo shirt. Overall a great pen to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great. They write very smooth and do not smudge. They feel nice in your hand. Writing is very sharp and bold. The fine point is perfect and easy to write with. I enjoy writing with these pens. I love it when I find the perfect pen and I think these are it. I would highly recommend these pens. I use them everyday at work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Five Stars! These gel pens are so smooth—it’s like writing with butter (but way less messy). I love using them to jot down cute little notes for my bestie—seriously they make everything look adorable. The ink flows perfectly no skipping and the colors pop just right. Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves adding a little flair to their handwriting!

Wanted to like these

from Southington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens write smoothly with a clean precise line and the extra fine tip is great for detailed work. The blue ink starts out bold and vibrant but I noticed the color fades with continued use. I used them for journaling and work notes and they were comfortable and reliable overall. Best feature: the smooth precise writing—though ink consistency could be better.
