Great Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is a pen. It’s just a pen so don’t get too excited. But it’s a really decent pen. It gets the job done. No drying no having to scribble for awhile to coax the ink flowing. Just a reliable decent pen. It’s the pen you want back when you loan it but not overpriced that you cry when it gets lost. 10/10 pen. Would make this my normal go to.

Great grip and quick dry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pens! Comfortable grips are a plus. Quick dry works well but takes a few seconds. Will still smudge if touched immediately. Overall it's a great product.

Great comfortable pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving my Staples progel retractable gel pen! The bold point is perfect making my handwriting clear and neat. These pens are super comfortable to write with They have been great for note taking When I am writing for a whole class sometimes my hands can get sore but not with these pens! Although there are multiple things I like about these pens the bold point is definitely my favorite I love the way my handwriting looks when I write with these pens!

Good Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the pen overall. It writes smoothly and felt comfortable in my hand. The blue ink is rich and moves evenly through the pen without any bare patches. It isn’t necessary to scribble first to get the ink going you can just start writing.

Not quite worth the hype

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher I’m very particular about my pens because I use them constantly throughout the day for grading planning and taking notes. Unfortunately I was not impressed with these pens. The ink did not flow smoothly and the fine point was too sharp for regular use. When writing at a normal speed on standard notebook paper the tip often caught on the page and sometimes even tore through it. This made the pens difficult to use in a fast-paced classroom environment. I did find the ergonomic grip comfortable and the pens were easy to hold for extended periods of time. However the overall writing experience was not enjoyable and the issues with ink flow and paper tearing outweighed the benefits. I would not recommend these pens for professional or high-volume use especially if you rely on smooth consistent writing throughout the day.

Smooth and Vibrant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples ProGel pens are my new go-to for grading papers and color-coding notes. The fine 0.7mm tip writes incredibly smoothly with no skips or smudges and the red ink is bold without being harsh on the eyes. I appreciate the comfortable grip and retractable design—no caps to lose! The ink dries quickly and doesn’t bleed through most paper. For anyone looking for dependable red gel pens this 5-pack is a great value. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Blue Ink 5/Pack have been an absolute delight for me. They write exceptionally well and the ease of use on paper is simply unmatched. I’ve made them my go-to pens for any writing task. The bold point feature is particularly noteworthy. It creates a smooth and effortless writing experience. The ergonomic grip is incredibly comfortable and the firmness of the pen ensures a comfortable writing sensation. My favorite aspect of these pens is the overall writing experience. The blue ink color is also a perfect choice. If you’re a fan of bold point gel pens I highly recommend these.

So smooth

from Olivehurst
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love how the pens write it feels so smooth and easy to use. I use pens all of the time since I am a teacher and these are my new favorite pens. The color is very pigmented and glides on while you write. So far they don’t smear the paper. I would definitely recommend these if you are a student because they are easy to write with. I obtained these products as part of the stellar panel.
