Staples ProGel Extra Fine
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: hanmh

[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!

Extra fine pens
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: V.F.
from San Francisco
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grip on these pens is very comfortable especially when writing for a long time. The problem I found with these pens is that the tip is so fine that the ink doesn’t flow out evenly. So often times I would have to re write over bc the pen would dry out. I tried various of the pens from the box and the same issue was the same. This does not usually happen with gel pens so I was a little disappointed.

GREAT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these pens the last few weeks and work and they’ve been fantastic. For a gel pen they dry quickly and don’t smudge. The cushion part could be a little thicker but overall a great choice. The black is jet black and looks very crisp.

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. 👍

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 :-/

These Pens Do Not Dry Out
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: C.M.
from Arlington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are amazing! The ink truly flows right out of them like good ball point pens. I left them out for other parents to use at our daycare to sign cards for teacher appreciation week. A few were left out and I was afraid they had dried up - nope! They still worked beautifully. I’ll definitely be stashing these in my work bag and around the house for when I need a good black pen on hand.

Great fine pen
on May 10, 2025

from Phoenix
[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!
