Perfect everyday pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very high quality pen. Comfortable nice feel and SO quick drying. I love a good gel pen that allows me to write quickly and smoothly with no smearing. It stays screwed tight so you don't have to worry about parts coming loose in your bag or leaks. Really just a nice quality gel pen. This pack will last a long time too. Worth noting it writes well on different thickness of paper too without bleeding.

Smooth but Thicc

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is a pretty good option for those that like to use gel pens. It writes very smoothly. it has this great balance where although it feels smooth you still feel the paper under it and it has that "bite" instead of the tip feeling like it's slipping all over the place. I also really like the grip on this pen. It's contoured such that there are 3 flat and ribbed sides as opposed to typical grips that just wrap around the pen. The shape of this grip perfectly fits the way I hold the pen with my thumb index and middle fingers and makes for a very comfortable writing experience. The ink also seems to dry pretty quickly I didn't have any issues with smudging or anything like that. My only gripe about this pen is that it comes out pretty thick for a 0.7mm. I wish it came out a little bit thinner. However I typically use 0.5mm pens so this is more of a personal preference. Overall great pen!

Smooth writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first held this pen in my hand I was unsure about how I would like it. I’m used to pens that are round the whole way around the grip and these ones have flat sides to rest your finger on. At first it felt weird to use but as I used it more the grip began to feel comfortable. These pens write SO SMOOTH. As a teacher I go through a TON of pens. Gel pens are my favorite and these ones are so nice to write with. I have been making all of my answer keys with these pens and writing basically everything with them. These are nice pens!! I would buy these again once they run out.

Good option for retractable Gel Pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: B.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pen writes smoothly on multiple types of paper with minimal smudging. Does not pick up a lot of fiber from more textured papers. Ink flows smoothly with no splotches though it occassionally has a dot when first starting to write.The ink reservoir appears to be fairly large. The blue ink is not super dark / pigmented but is very legible. The pen has a comfortable grip and the retracting mechanism feels solid. The clip appears fairly robust for a disposable pen. It is comparable to some of the gel pens made in Japan. The one downside is the packaging. It was very difficult to remove one pen from the cardboard perforation in the 5 pack.

Staples ProGel Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Pen is a great option for a gel pen. I love how smoothly it writes. The ink dries quickly especially for a gel pen. I have the blue color and the color really stands out especially on white paper. The grip is comfortable and the pen is easy to use. I have some at work and some at home for personal use. This is a great pen for everyday use!

Stellar Gel Pen

from Temecula
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very specific about the kind of pens I like - I don’t like when they smear or run and I like when they glide and are easy to write with. These pens fit exactly what I love in a pen! They write easily they don’t smear and they have a strong black ink color. Love them!

Comfortable and Quick Drying
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: A.L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who exclusively uses ink gel pens I can confidently say the Staples ProGel Pen stands up to the competition. The wider grip makes for a very comfortable hold when writing. The best part about this pen is that it writes smoothly almost gliding across the paper and dries instantly. Because of this it could be an ideal option for those who write with their left hands and have experienced smudged and smeared ink with other pens. These pens will leak ink when storing upside down which I’ve not experienced with other brands. Despite this I would use the Staples ProGel Pen on a regular basis as the pros outweigh the cons for me personally.

My new favorite gel pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: C.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Pen and was thoroughly impressed. Compared to other gel pens its fast-drying ink minimized smudging while the ergonomic design and rubber grip provided comfortable writing. What I liked most about the Staples ProGel Pen was its consistent ink flow and vibrant color payoff. Whether I was jotting down notes or doodling in my planner the ink flowed smoothly without any skips or blotches. Staples ProGel Pen is now my top choice for everyday writing needs. Highly recommended!
