Love these pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working solo parents I need to write EVERYTHING down otherwise I forget it! My To Do lists seem never-ending so it's important to me to always have a writing tool nearby to jot something down. These gel pens from Staples work wonders! They write so smoothly and dry quickly. I did not experience any smearing and the letters had clear beginnings and ends - the ink didn't drag from one letter to another. This pen is super easy to hold quite comfortable and very easy to write with. I love the blue even though I'm usually more of a purple pen person. It's useful to have blue pens in my inventory so that I can fill out important paperwork. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for these pens in different colors!

Smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall my impression of this gel pen is highly positive. Compared to other gel ink pens I've used this one stands out for its smooth and consistent ink flow which creates clean and precise lines without any skipping or smudging. The ink dry time is impressively quick allowing for fast-paced writing without worrying about smearing. Additionally the pen's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold for extended periods reducing hand fatigue during long writing sessions. What I liked most about this pen is its reliability and comfort making it a go-to choice for everyday writing tasks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] .Ok my first impressions: 1.I liked the package it has a striking image it has an easy opener to take out the pencils. 2. It has a red tip protector. That is interesting. 3. When writing he has good pigmentation. 4. It was written softly on the paper. That I did not like: 1. The ink smears a little you have to wait a little before you want to run your finger over your writing. thick 2.the writing is very thick and rough.

Great pens
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a physical therapist so while most of my day is spent typing away I do find myself jotting notes and signing things throughout the day. These pens compared to the other ones at my desk dried so quickly! I never ended up with mysterious pen marks and smudges all over my hand by the end of the day. They write smoothly and easily on checks regular printer paper labels and even sticky notes. The 0.7 tip is small enough that the lines are fine and crisp but not so small that you accidentally cut through the paper you're trying to use. As you can see in the photo the ink dried almost instantly. There is a small smudge along the bottom of "after" which I dragged my finger across immediately following the word. You can also see how smoothly the pen glides with no catches or skips.

Smooth gel pen with comfortable grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a fan of gel pens for many years I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Staples Pro Gel Pen. The ink lays down well on paper and dries quickly with no smudging. The black ink is vivid and does not bleed through the variety of papers I’ve tried them on. The pen sits well in my hand due to its lightweight design. A great option for a smooth precise writing experience.

A pen thats a gem
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has significantly exceeded my expectations compared to other gel pens I've used in the past and I am pen obsessed and have tried many gel pens in my life.. The flow of the ink is remarkably smooth making writing a seamless and enjoyable experience. The ink is consistent and ensures a neat look. Although the ink dries relatively faster than most gel pens I did notice a slight tendency to smudge if not given a moment to set. This is a minor inconvenience considering the overall quality of the pen. The ergonomic grip reduces fatigue and provides a comfortable hold making it ideal for extended use. It feels natural in the hand allowing for a relaxed grip. What excites me most about this product line is the availability of three different tip sizes. Having used the 0.7mm tip which strikes a perfect balance between finesse and visibility I'm eagerly looking forward to trying out the other sizes for various writing needs.

Overall a Great Gel Pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: H.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying the Staples ProGel Pens in the color Black and the tip size of Fine 0.7mm for the first time I am overall pleasantly surprised. These pens are extremely comfortable to write with and each pen is ergonomically designed with a grip for extra comfort. The size of the writing line is perfect for everyday and professional use. Compared to other gel pens these are very comparable however they do have more benefits than most. They do come in a pack of 5 pens so you can put one in your purse your backpack your briefcase or even on your desk at work. While writing with these pens the ink drys relatively fast to help reduce smudging and they write extremely smooth. I would definitely purchase these again in the future.
