Writes so smooth
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: K.E.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel pen is very comparable to brand name pens. It writes incredibly smooth and the ink dries quickly. I don’t have any issues with smearing or smudging as long it has had a few seconds to dry. I particularly like the grip on this pen too it’s very comfortable to hold.

Smooth and quick to dry but not for leftys

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Staples ProGel pens are a great bang for your buck buttery smooth at .7mm but are not fast enough drying for a southpaw. I use a mix of different brand gel pens and the Staples brand holds up quite well. I take a lot of meeting notes and it stayed extremely smooth over the past week of usage. I don’t highlight much but when I did it didn’t smear. The dry time was particularly good at close to 5 seconds. If you are fast and grabbing highlighters quick you might get more smearing than I did. If you are left handed though it is not fast enough depending on your hold. Grip was really good as well. Didn’t get fatigued through longer meetings. These will for sure be my back up pens going forward due to their great price and comfortability.

Smooth and Comfortable
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen glides very well when writing and feels so nice and easy. The ink flow is consistent and bold and dries quickly (in my opinion but I am right handed). It does not require much pressure to write and makes my handwriting look better. The grip is comfortable to hold and take notes write cards make a list - any writing task is much smoother than a regular ballpoint pen. I have only used it for a couple weeks or so so not sure how long it will last but so far so good!

Smooth and precise
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens. I find they are smoother and cleaner than regular ink pen. These Staples ProGel Pens are no exception. They are bold and vivid on paper. They are not messy or watery. They have clean lines. They do not take time to dry. It is instant. They do not smudge which is a prevalent problem with many gel pens. The gel is thin so it doesn’t bleed into other pages. I have used it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems so far. It didn’t skip and the ball didn’t get stuck. This is such a great pen and I am happy with it.

The Pen is Mighter than the Sword

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "The pen is mightier than the sword" is a phrase that couldn't be more true especially when it comes to fulfilling my family’s continuing education needs. We require a pen that we can rely on and amongst all the pens we've tried the Staples Gel pen has never let us down. Even if my kids leave it lying around it always writes without fail. Its ink flows silk smooth and dark making it visible even in low-lit rooms. It never smudges or bleeds through the paper even when my kids use it to sketch and color in their drawings. It dries quickly and lasts a long time without losing its quality. Above all else with a comfortable grip to hold for those long hours of writing. When I take notes for my studies I need a pen that won't fail me. I have to write a lot and wasting time on pens that don't work is not an option for me. As a busy mom with a household to run and kids to take care of every minute is precious. That's why having a reliable pen is not just important but crucial to me. The simplicity of even a pen is often overlooked but once you find the right one you'll understand the quality you can get with the Staples ProGel Pen. Knowing that I have the pen that meets my family's needs to journal our feelings and thoughts is a great relief. I definitely recommend seeking out the Staples ProGel Pen brand and its various colors; you won’t be disappointed.

Makes Me Love Writing Again
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: J.R.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really really like the Staples Pro-Gel Pen. It really writes smooth and I love that it comes in a Fine tip as that is my favorite tip to write with. I have used other gel pens in the past but the ink has always bled on the paper and at work that can be really troublesome because once that happens I would have to start over again which doesn’t make me very productive. The Staples Pro-Gel pen did not bleed at all! I touched the paper immediately and it dried so quickly…that made me very happy! The pen was very comfortable to write with. It felt light and soft against my fingers and I wrote. What I like most about it is that it seems durable and that it seems to me that it will be long lasting which is what I need to have on a daily basis at work. I also like that the black ink is dark and that it did not smudge and it gave me confidence to be able to complete my tasks on time. I really am impressed with these pens and I will make sure to share about how great they are to my coworkers and my friends!

Good quality pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel pens worked great. They had a smooth consistency and didn’t need any prepping before the ink started to flow. I’ve used one for about two weeks now and it still looks completely full of ink. The grip is comfortable and felt like a good weight in my hand (heavy pens can be hard for me to write with for a long time). I am a righty so I don’t struggle with pen smears but the ink seemed to dry quickly if that is a problem you usually have. Overall I’ll definitely buy them again.
