Almost perfect pen
on June 12, 2025
Posted by: The Lady Guest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try the Staples Pro Gel Pens with a Bold Point 1.0 to see how they compared to other pens I currently use. I’m in education so I take a lot of notes and do a lot of writing. It is important that I have a reliable pen that is easy to hold glides easily and has a consistent flow of ink. First I love that it is retractable so I don’t have to worry about a cap. The grip is comfortable and has a bit of a cushion for your finger. The bold point is nice and not too thick. The only problem I ran into was the consistency of ink flow. If you look at the picture I took you can see where the ink stops mid-letter on the “S” then on the bottom of the “p” you can see where too much ink came out and the line is thicker. You can also see areas where the ink flow was not solid and a little bumpy. For me these are good pens and fine for personal use. If the ink flow were to be improved I could see myself making the switch from what I use not to this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These set of pens are great. They write well and ink flows well. The ink doesn’t leak. They are like brand name pens. There’s nothing special but it does what it’s supposed to and doesn’t disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with these pens. I find them amazing the fine point and the boldness is exactly what I look for in a pen. These are very comfortable and the ergonomic grip is such a nice addition. My most favorite thing about these pens are that they are smooth and dry quickly. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of these pens and highly recommend.

The only pens I want to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression on these pens was they look just like a regular pen. The grip is nice and cushiony for my fingers the blue is pretty. Then after trying them out…WOW! Such a smooth write. No smudges even immediately after writing (which would be great for you left-handed geniuses out there!!). I actually like these so much I carry one in my purse wherever I go. I love to journal and am currently writing a book so these have been used very very frequently! I highly recommend for all you nerds like me!

Staples ProGel Gel Pens 5 pack Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using these pens! The ergonomic grip is great. It doesn't hurt my fingers to write with these pens like with some other pens and pencils. The bold font is nice and I like how smooth these pens write. I use these pens most on my undated calendars and monthly budget sheets to help keep track of bills and taking notes in a meeting. If I need to write in a smaller or slimmer font though I don't use these pens because then my handwriting isn't always legible. Overall I really like these pens based on how they feel in my hands and how they write. I hope they come out in a rainbow of colors because they would be perfect for my planner!

My new favorite pens

from Springdale
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the BEST! I was a little skeptical but after the first use I was hooked. They are the perfect thickness glide smoothly and are the right level of “juicy-ness.” They are comfortable in your hand and I love how easy it is to see how much ink you have left. I don’t want to use any other pens.

Great Red Pen

from Ypsilanti
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great exactly as you would expect. I have terrible handwriting so having a pen that flows well matters a lot. I love the way the pen glides not only is the color bold but the way it writes helps my handwriting flow better and look less like chicken scratch. The grip is comfortable and I can use them often and don't get an indent from griping too tightly. Highly recommend.

Great pens easy to use

from Nashville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens worked very well! They were smooth to write with and the bold print made them stand out from other pens on my desk. I thought that they were very comfortable to write with whether it was a thank you note for my child’s teacher or a quick post-it note reminder for myself! Clickable pens are always my go-to making these a favorite of mine.
