[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens worked really well for writing in a journal. They tip was great and didn't smudge. I liked the color and they worked for what I was using then for.

Inconsistent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the blue extra fine (0.5 mm) ProGel Pen from which I wanted to love but there are some issues with these ones. To get the gel ink flowing you have to scratch the pens across paper many times. Once I got it to work the gel would stop flowing in the middle of writing. I thought maybe I had a bad pen so I used another and also handed some out to my coworker. The consensus was we didn't like it. Not only did the super fine gel point barely work the ink color is so light that it doesn't show up well. I like the idea of of a fine point pen but this just didn't make the cut for what I'm looking for in a pen. What I did enjoy is the finger grip padding on the pen and the actual structure of the pen. If they could work on the execution of the gel then it'd be a great product!

Scratchy and light ink
on May 5, 2025
Posted by: C.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the weight and grip of these pens as well as the color however the positives end there. The tip of the pen is scratchy as in the ink does not flow well and I feel like I am dragging a dried up pen across the paper. Similarly because the ink doesn't come out smoothly my writing ends up pretty light almost as if the pen is running out of ink even though it's brand new. I definitely would not opt to use these pens again.

Okay Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that this pen would be very good for someone who likes extra fine pens. The ink comes out smoothly. In fact it comes out very fast. My penmanship looked horrible with this pen because I can't write this fast and need a 1.0mm type of pen. It doesn't drag or get stuck in the paper. I never felt like I was going to rip thru the paper like you do with some other extra fine pens that feel like writing with a needle. So overall if you like extra fine pens and can write well quickly this pen will work well for you!

Has Potential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive the Staples ProGel Pen as I am an avid pen user. I love buying and trying a variety of pens. The staples pen was a bit disappointing due to the amount of ink released from the pen. I was able to get enough ink on the paper to show my words however I wish the ink was more bold. However the pen itself felt great while holding and didn’t cause any issues in that aspect. If Staples can get more ink and a smoother print this pen would be perfect for everyone.
