Wanted to Love Them
on May 6, 2025

from Winchendon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in a dealership. We write a LOT. I really wanted to love these pens. And initially I did. The fine point is great for my accounting and noting on reports. I shared a few with the salesmen they liked them too. They have a great weight and thickness. The gel dries quickly so smudging isn't a concern. But.... the ink bleeds though. Not always an issue but some of the documents I personally work with are legal and double sided. Having my witting bleed through is not acceptable. I'd hoped it was user error (I write heavy) but even writing with less pressure the ink still shows through. I had really high hopes but unfortunately these cannot be a new favorite on my desk

Your new favorite pen
on May 6, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an office supply junkie and I love a good pen! I used these at work for school notes and grocery lists. They write surprisingly bold and smooth without staining through or smudging. These pens are pretty lightweight with nice grippers. Also the clips are sturdy as I usually clip my pens on my pockets at work. It’s a good thing they come in a 12-pack because pen thieves are real!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ProGel pens write easily and well. Comfortable hold easy click to retract and clean writing. I like that they are a little thicker than a cheap ink pen because it makes it more comfortable to hold and write with. The ink is bold and stands out without having to press down. I used this for a full day of note taking and the pen was still comfortable after all day.

New pens Weak ink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried 3 pens in the pack of 12 and each was as if they were dried out. Within 3 or 4 sentences the ink grew lighter. So frustrating!

Smooth and bold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens were wonderful for taking notes writing list and prepping mg schedule. I loved how smoothly these write. Sometimes when I use a pen I have to get it started before the ink starts flowing but there was no issue with these. There was no smearing either when filling in my calendar. As a person with poor handwriting the fine tips on these was perfect for me.

A Pen for Pen Lovers

from Ebensburg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher I use a lot of different writing tools throughout the day and I definitely have my favorites! I love it when I find a pen that writes smoothly shows up well and is comfortable to hold. The Staples ProGel Pen has it all! I have used this pen for taking notes recording grades and writing thank you notes. The pen moves smoothly for both print and cursive writing. The ink is bold but does not smudge or bleed through the paper. The fine tip allows for clear writing even in small grade book boxes! The rubber grip makes it comfortable and easy to hold and the click top means no lost pen caps! The Pro Gel pen has easily become a new favorite!

Great gel pen

from Newnan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Staples ProGel Retractable gel pens every day for work! They glide easily across paper don't smear and the fine yet bold lines they create are great. I always make sure that they are in my purse and work bag! I have to keep an eye on them because people who borrow them often want to walk away with my gel pens!
