Good at first

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holding the pens is comfortable. Writing with the pens is good at first. They start off gliding well and writing smoothly. My biggest complaint is that after writing for a bit the pen's writing visibility starts to deteriorate. It begins to write as if it were running out of ink.

Lovely Gel pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens are a nice weight and the click is satisfyingly loud. The ink itself flows well allowing for writing. I used it draw some line art and it worked well no major issues with continuity. They did bleed some through the paper and I tried them on different weights of paper. I'd love it if they didn't bleed at all but I'll just have to keep that in mind as I use them.

Smooth writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my new Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Extra Fine Point 0.5mm Blue Ink. They write very smooth and I love the extra fine point of the pen. They do not leave any wet ink which is nice. They also have a great grip. However I have had a problem with the ink not flowing out of the pen. It seems like it dries up very fast or is not flowing correctly. If this problem is fixed I’d give them 5 stars.

Glides easily with no smudge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I thought this pen was easy to hold with a triangle ribbed grip and the gel glides easily onto the paper. The gel dried instantly with no risk of smudging which is really important to me. I thought the fine point allowed me to write small notes but they were still clearly legible. I tend to write more holding the pen up and down but when my hand would get tired and the pen was more angled the gel would appear as it was running low which is not ideal. I am really happy with the color the size of the fine point and how comfortable it was to hold. Great pen!

Good pack of pens

from Folsom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I had a mixed experience with these pens. I love the large pack I am always losing pens so it is nice to have lots on hand. The pens are comfortable to hold. I really liked the extra fine point it was great for sketching. However for some reason when it came to regular writing I did encounter some issues. On occasion the ink didn’t flow as smoothly as expected. What I liked most about these pens was the precision they offered when sketching. For fine details they were great but I did wish for a more consistent ink flow for everyday writing tasks.

Staples ProGel Extra Fine

from Callaway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the Staples ProGel Extra Fine pens. They’re really lightweight and smooth. They dry instantaneously and have no smudging or smearing. They have a perfect gel ink that is bright yet thin due to the extra fine point. You won’t regret getting these!

Extra fine pens
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: V.F.
from San Francisco
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grip on these pens is very comfortable especially when writing for a long time. The problem I found with these pens is that the tip is so fine that the ink doesn’t flow out evenly. So often times I would have to re write over bc the pen would dry out. I tried various of the pens from the box and the same issue was the same. This does not usually happen with gel pens so I was a little disappointed.

GREAT
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: C.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these pens the last few weeks and work and they’ve been fantastic. For a gel pen they dry quickly and don’t smudge. The cushion part could be a little thicker but overall a great choice. The black is jet black and looks very crisp.
