The pen was more than I expected
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.A.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got the staples gel pens I thought they were not going to meet my expectations. The packet came with plenty of pens for at home office and to have some in my purse. At a glance it looks like a simple pen...however once you start using it you will fall in love with them. They are so light and easy to write with. I got the blue ink pro gel pens and the color is so rich and vibrant. The ink dries of pretty fast compared to other pens. I have used my pen for some time and the ink seems to last longer. I tend to lose pens but I will be taking care of this one !!!

A New Staple for Smooth Writing
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: jsoles
from Washington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When given the option I tend to go for gel pens with the click-to-write/retractable feature. (I hate pen caps - they get lost or I break them while fidgeting.) They're my go-to choice despite having a variety of other pens scattered throughout my desk. The Staples ProGel Pen is as good or better than other gel pens I've used. Initially it felt lighter than expected which gave me pause but as soon as I started writing any concerns about its weight vanished. It's comfortable and smooth. This pen will be my new staple. Pros: Writes smoothly dries almost instantly doesn't bleed through paper comfortable grip. Cons: None?

No more smeared ink1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on call for work quite a bit so find myself taking notes on any available scrap of paper. I have found smeared ink later that made it hard to read my notes. That is no longer an issue when I use the Staples ProGel Pen! I keep one in my backpack in the car and of course in my desk now. Of course since my coworkers have discovered how well they work I have to hide them to avoid them being stolen.

Smooth operator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is great for daily writing. It had super fast drying time and had a very smooth ink flow. I loved the gripper padding that made extended writing very comfortable. It did have a medium point and you must be careful not to get the ink wet to prevent smearing. Overall very good quality pen.

Staple ProGel pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of being a product reviewer tester for stellar product reviews and was able to test out these gel pens from staples. These pens are fabulous! They have a nice fine point easily glide across the page without big ink blots and dry quicky! I also took the red stopper off the end of every pen in the package and wrote with them to make sure that EVERY pen wore the same way. I was recently at a conference where the speakers spoke fast. Covering material quickly and then moving on. I prefer to write in pen when note taking and was happy using these pens. Smooth letters and drawings no smudging or ink on my hands and super important they didn’t stop working randomly. I have had pens before that you have to stop and shake mid sentence to get the ink to come out again… not with these. The grip is good too comfortable to use for the 4 plus hours I used it for!

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens work well. They do not smear or smudge when writing. They do not have a funny smell. They glide well over the paper leaving clear image. I use this mainly for work and since it is sensitive information I can not show you all of the writing but have made some sample writing to show the quality of these pens! I am surprised at how long they last. Normally with gell type pens the ink will run out fast but this pen lasts for a long time. I would definitely recommend these pens for anyone that works with regular paper. If you use a product like "Rite in the Rain" all weather paper it will smear very badly. Make sure to only use these pens on regular paper.

My new favorite gel pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: C.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Pen and was thoroughly impressed. Compared to other gel pens its fast-drying ink minimized smudging while the ergonomic design and rubber grip provided comfortable writing. What I liked most about the Staples ProGel Pen was its consistent ink flow and vibrant color payoff. Whether I was jotting down notes or doodling in my planner the ink flowed smoothly without any skips or blotches. Staples ProGel Pen is now my top choice for everyday writing needs. Highly recommended!

Great gel pen with a comfortable grip
on March 21, 2024

from College Park
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Pen is a great retractable pen that I think is very comparable to a name-brand gel pen that I typically prefer to use. I do a lot of writing as part of my job and I am very picky about my pens. I actually bring my own pens to work because I don’t like the ones that they provide. The Staples pen writes very smooth and dries very quickly so it is not easily smudged. My favorite part is the ergonomic grip which is very comfortable and something that the name brand gel pen is lacking. At times I felt like the pen wrote a little thick but nothing that I found to be a problem. I will be interested to see how long the pen lasts compared to my usual pen; I’ve currently been using it for 2 weeks. I go through pens quickly at my job. I would definitely use the Staples pen in place of the name-brand pen and an added bonus is that Staples brand items are usually at a lower price point. If it does cost less I don’t feel that it is sacrificing quality.
