Bold And Smudge Free Writing
on November 26, 2024
Posted by: Kayla P
from Rushville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These retractable gel pens are awesome! They have the super comfortable and easy to hold grips with the perfect ridges for maximum comfort while writing. They have very great quality ink THAT STAYS CONSISTENT throughout the entirety of use of each pen which is a lot of times an issue for many different brands/styles of gel pens. One of my biggest pet peeves with gel pens is going to use it when the ink level is still nearly full but yet it won’t come out when I try writing with it. So I’ve really put these to the test before leaving this review; & I can say I was honestly surprised that I ended up using all the ink up in one of the pens and NOT ONCE did it ever give me trouble with ink flow when I used it. Came out bright and bold every single use. My other huge pet peeve with gel pens is smudging which everyone knows is a very common issue when writing with them. But again I used an entire pen full of ink out of this pack & never experienced smudging when writing a full page moving my hand across the pages as I write. Also I should add it took me a month to use up the ink from just one of these pens and that was with plenty of use almost every single day of that month. So the ink lasts surprisingly long. You’re also able to monitor the ink levels of these pens thanks to the transparent barrel design. Overall I love these pens! I only leave a 4 star rating because I like my gel pen tips to be just a little smaller for thinner lines when writing. But other than that the design grips ink & overall quality of these retractable gel pens is near perfect!

Awesome no smear pen great for lefties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I am so impressed by the quality of this own! You can TRY to smear the ink and it won’t BUDGE! this is so rare with gel pens. My husband is a lefty and can never use gel pens for this reason- until now! It’s his new go-to work pen. The ink dispersal is also very even and it doesn’t come out in big clumps even after using it for a while. My husband and I both have been using this pen regularly for about a month and are still loving it. My only small criticism is the line is pretty thick. Personal preference but would LOVE a finer tip version of this pen.

Great pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is great! I work from home and take lots of notes for my job so I need a reliable pen that doesn't smudge when I write. This pen is just that! I usually have to worry about dry time with gel pens but not with this one. I can run my hand over it almost immediately after writing and it doesn't smear or smudge. I think the design of the pen is nice and makes for a comfortable hold and the ink is consistent since it's a gel pen. Overall a pen that I will definitely keep stocked on my desk.

Smooth Writing Experience
on November 25, 2024

from Manor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Retractable pen and it has quickly become my go-to writing tool. From the moment I picked it up I was impressed by its smooth consistent ink flow. The gel ink glides effortlessly across paper leaving crisp bold lines with no smudging or skipping. The pen's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold for long writing sessions without causing hand fatigue. The grip is soft yet firm and the pen feels well-balanced in my hand. Durability is another strong point — the ink lasts longer than most pens I've used and the barrel is sturdy without being too heavy. Whether you're using it for everyday writing or detailed art projects this gel pen delivers an exceptional experience every time. Overall this gel pen is an excellent choice for anyone looking for smooth reliable and high-quality writing. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Staples ProGel pen for free for an honest review. The pen is a red ink gel pen and comes in a pack of 12. It has an ultra- smooth gel ink It dries quickly to prevent smudging. It has a comfort grip. It writes bold at a 1.0mm. Overall I use this pen when taking notes or writing lists. It’s one of my favorite pens so far.

Loves these pens
on November 25, 2024
Posted by: C.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pin was sleek and nice looking. The grip was a little bigger than I liked. It was very comfortable to write with. I liked the way the ink dried quickly. When it comes to depends I am very picky and this is one that I continue to pick up day after day.

Great pen and comfortable
on November 25, 2024
Posted by: E.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens. This pen comes with a red dot coat at the tip that you have to scribble off because they prevent it from drying out. After you do that you are golden. This pen writes smoothly and dries quickly so it doesn’t bleed. It literally glides while you write and feels like a dream. It is comfortable and a great value. It compares with ones much more expensive. Definitely worth a try.

Best Pens Ever
on November 25, 2024
Posted by: Court0317
from Burnsville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are so wonderful! I love how thick these pens are and how they fit into my hand without being too small. They are super comfortable to write with. They are so smooth and the ink comes out easily but not so fast that it gets everywhere. They are super fast drying and would not smudge even when I tried to smudge them. I love these. 10/10 recommend!
