Really great bold
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: K.A.
from Woodland
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay this was a really awesome bold gel pen! Here’s what I loved. The look of the pen itself is nice and sleek. The 1.0mm boldness was perfect for my heavy-handed writing style and the ink dries quickly (a must for me!). It felt good in my hand and had a nice click to it. The only thing that had me dock a star is that it wasn’t as smooth of a glide as I want/need from a gel pen. I primarily use it in a journal I keep at work and felt that the “glideability” was a 4/5.

Excellent pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Staples ProGel pen! The red color is bold and easy to read. It writes really well well and so far it hasn’t smuggled at all. This pen is on the finer side but not so fine it’s hard to write with. I appreciate the triangular size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unexpectedly fantastic! I absolutely LOVE gel pens so I’ve owned pretty much every name brand you can think of. I was definitely impressed with the great quality! It’s smooth does not bleed through paper and dries so quickly.

New favorite gen pen
on June 10, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new go-to pens! I love when the ink of a pen flows evenly and and boldly on the page. The ink in these pens are so consistent and create beautiful bold lines that can be easily read. They are also really well made and sturdy and the ergonomic grip is a nice touch! I’ve got them spread out around the house for work kitchen lists and journaling. I love a gel pen for everyday use and I hope they make them in more colors!

Smooth and Reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this is a great solid pen. It writes smoothly the color is bright and it doesn’t bleed! I like the thickness it writes with it’s bold but not too much to where you have to space out letters to be able to read it. The grip is very comfortable I felt like I could write for a long time. I liked that these pens are simple comfortable and the color is great.

Smooth and excellent pens
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: Roseg
from Roseville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens have quickly become a new favorite! I’m picky with my pens - they must be smooth and reliable and typically I prefer an ultra-fine tip. I like that these ProGel pens are just slightly thicker. It makes the red ink easier to read while still being fine and not bulky. The grip on the pen makes it very comfortable to hold even for longer periods of time. I also appreciate that the tip is retractable so that I don’t need to keep track of a cap! I have had no issues with the ink smearing like gel pens sometimes do. Overall I’m super impressed by the quality and I will be adding more pens from this line to my collection in the future!

Very Nice

from Fuquay-Varina
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely adore that these pens dry quickly! It’s one of their best features especially when you’re in a hurry. They write smoothly from the very beginning and the ink is bold and vibrant. The comfortable grip is also a nice touch. Overall I would highly recommend these pens!

Smooth as silk
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: K.W.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens amazed me for the cost. These pens compare equally to more expensive brands and I will absolutely get more when these run out. The 1.0 tip is nice and thick the roller ball never stops rolling and I haven’t seen any leaks or globs of ink in my use as a nurse. My favorite part of the pen is the shape it fits perfectly in my fingers and doesn’t make my hand sore.
