High Quality Smooth Writing Pen
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: K.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is by far one of the best pens I have ever used. In the past many pens like this that I’ve tried would smudge on the paper or on your hands - not so with this pen. It was very comfortable to write with on paper with a smooth action throughout - no bumps in the writing process. The grip on the pen was very comfortable creating no tension on your hand. The ink was very vibrant and consistent without any streaks and this is what I liked most about the pen. The point size on the pen was bold and I was surprised by how much I liked this since I typically use fine point pens.

Quick drying ink and writes smoothly
on November 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has a very nice comfortable grip. I love the retractable feature as I’m always losing lids to pens and then they dry out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ink comes out thick and even. That’s not usually what I expect from a gel pen so I was happy about smooth it writes. And the ink dries super fast! No smudges across the page or on the edge of my hand as I write. I definitely recommend buying this pen.

A Smooth Option

from Las Vegas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid pen with a comfortable grip hold and size. I have smaller hands and find some pens too be too bulky and big but this one fits my hand well and the grips are at the right positioning to make it easy to use. The ink is a thicker gel with a thicker point so writing is really smooth. My penmanship looks great which is how I usually judge my pens. The only negative is the gel can smudge a bit so you have to let it dry well and not touch it. Wouldn’t be great for a lefty. Overall it’s a really smooth writing comfortable easy to use pen!

Awesome Gel Pen
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: B.G.
from Norfolk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I heard that these pens were gel pens that did not smear I was honestly skeptical. I tried it and found out how quickly the ink dries on the paper. If you are quick you might be able to smear it a tiny bit but normally use will show no issue! As a left handed writer these are super helpful since my wrist and hand will usually smear anything I write on paper. These pens are great and eliminate my problem! Along with being comfortable in my hand and super smooth on the paper these pens are now my go-to!

Smooth and bright

Posted by: V.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried these and I am so impressed. They are bold and they roll on the paper so smooth. I tried them on an adult coloring book and it colored beautifully. I have never seen such good pens. I give them an A+.

Take it from a picky pen person
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: J.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a left-handed stylophile my entire life. As a kid my desk drawer was a treasure trove of pens—hotel freebies restaurant giveaways vibrant gel pens and felt-tip markers galore. You get the picture. Fast forward to adulthood where in my profession note-taking is practically a job requirement and naturally I've found the pen: blue or black gel pens of course. Enter the ProGel Pens from Staples—a fantastic dupe for another brand I've been hoarding since grad school. These gems deliver excellent quality and to my delight they’re also easier on the wallet. Consider me officially impressed!

Nice Pens Nice Flow and Grip
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: I.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are one of the best pens that I have ever wrote with because of it's nice flow and grip. It's overall appearance is very appealing and unique which makes it very fun to write with. I can write with these pens very comfortable while I am holding them in between my fingers. I like how they don't skip and the print is nice bold and smooth. They are high quality and performs it's best without drying out. Lastly what I like most about these pens is that they would last a long time.
