Smooth and Bold
on November 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this pen! The writing is SO smooth it feels like butter when writing with it. I have started to prefer writing with a 0.5mm gel pen but this 1.0mm is perfect when I want to make something bold and easy for my students to read when writing notes. I have the 0.7mm version of this pen as well and I actually prefer the thicker ink. I’m glad this pen comes with so many in a pack because I think I’m going to go through these quickly. I have really enjoyed writing with these and would love to get them in more colors.

I like this pen because the writing is easily seen and does not smear or bleed.

A Smooth Option

[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!

Comfortable Smooth Pen
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: M.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pretty fussy when it comes to pens so I was thrilled to use such a comfortable pen. Nicely desiged to ensure a comfortable writing experience.The pen has a great grip to make writing easy. The ink is a pretty blue and the pen writes super smooth. Nice bold stroke so it is very easy to read. The ink dries quickly even on a greeting card - so no smears. Thanks to Staples for allowing me to use and test these pens. I have replaced my pens around the house and in my purse so one of these is always easily in reach. Great find!

Smooth Writing Experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Retractable pen and it has quickly become my go-to writing tool. From the moment I picked it up I was impressed by its smooth consistent ink flow. The gel ink glides effortlessly across paper leaving crisp bold lines with no smudging or skipping. The pen's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold for long writing sessions without causing hand fatigue. The grip is soft yet firm and the pen feels well-balanced in my hand. Durability is another strong point — the ink lasts longer than most pens I've used and the barrel is sturdy without being too heavy. Whether you're using it for everyday writing or detailed art projects this gel pen delivers an exceptional experience every time. Overall this gel pen is an excellent choice for anyone looking for smooth reliable and high-quality writing. Highly recommended!

Great Pen
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: G.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the 1.0 pen and it writes bold and smooth. I have experienced smearing in other gel pens. This one is crisp and does not smear even right after writing. This is a big deal because the way I hold my pen my hand almost always makes it smear. That is a big win. It is comfortable to hold and rubber grip is perfect.

Great pen and comfortable
on November 25, 2024
Posted by: E.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens. This pen comes with a red dot coat at the tip that you have to scribble off because they prevent it from drying out. After you do that you are golden. This pen writes smoothly and dries quickly so it doesn’t bleed. It literally glides while you write and feels like a dream. It is comfortable and a great value. It compares with ones much more expensive. Definitely worth a try.
