Fantastic Gel Pen
on November 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is a great pen. I am very particular about the pens I use and I would add this to the very short list of pens I buy again and again. It writes very smoothly with a steady flow of ink. Another major plus for me as I am left-handed is that the ink doesn't smear so my writing looks much clearer.

Glides Smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the package I love the look of the pen itself and the comfort grip it offered. I was very surprised at the quality of the ink and how smooth it wrote on paper. The ink itself was very quick to dry and also didn’t smear for me. Which is a big deal for me since I tend to end up with ink on my hands from other pens. I was able to write freely without worrying that the ink would stop and have to scribble to get it to come out. It has a consistent flow of ink and very satisfactory on my end. I now keep these pens at work to use multiple times throughout the day. Definitely my new favorite pen!

Smooth Writing
on November 21, 2024
Posted by: A.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using gel pens since they first appeared on the market and have tried many. The Staples ProGel Pen is one of the better gel pens I have used. I don't write a lot but when I do I like a pen that is smooth doesn't leave ink blots on the paper and is easy to handle. I find as I get older comfort becomes a large part of my day to day and the Staples ProGel Pen hits all the marks. I also really like that it is retractable. I have found that caps seem to get lost and pens tend to leak but with a retractable I do not need to worry. I would recommend this brand for anyone who writes all the time or just occasionally like me.

Good gel pen
on November 21, 2024

from Lake Stevens
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I consider myself a pen snob - so this review is very truthful. I enjoy trying different handwriting fonts and need a good pen to write and then go in and fill in bolder parts of the letters … gel pens are not my go to but after trying this pen I was very happy and surprised by how well it turned out. The ink was very fluid when writing out the letters the first time. When going back and filling in more of the letter’s boldness it did have trouble getting ink out evenly. I had to really take my time to do it … not my favorite. BUT as a regular gel pen for regular writing this was great! The drying time for the ink was also quick so there was so smudging. I left one of the words regular to show the thickness of the ink to paper ratio.

Excellent gel pen
on November 21, 2024
Posted by: JackieM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel pen is one of my new favorites. I work in an office where I do a lot of writing and the pen’s firm 3-sided textured grip makes using it not only more comfortable it also makes it easier to write for longer periods of time. The pen glides and propels me smoothly across the page no matter how much pressure I write with (I tend to be heavy-handed). I noticed the ink may smudge immediately after writing but will be perfectly dry after 1-2 seconds which is much faster than I’ve experienced with other gel pens. And the spring provides a sturdy satisfying “click”. The grip and ease of writing which I attribute to the quality of ink and overall design makes this a very enjoyable and effective writing instrument.

Glides on Paper Easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing these pens for me to review. I am loving these Staples ProGel Retractable Pens as the ink glides so smoothly on paper. The red color is fantastic for grading! I appreciate the comfort grip. The push button at the top removes the contention of losing a pen cap. Overall I would definitely purchase these pens or recommend them to someone else.

Comfortable Pen
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: P.W.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I quite liked the comfortability of this pen and it worked well. I personally prefer a thinner ballpoint but the packaging is clear that it is a bold write. I also appreciated that it works when writing with either hand which is rare!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves writing whether it’s jotting down notes or crafting a novel. First the sleek design is both modern and functional with a solid build that feels durable and professional. The vibrant blue ink adds a polished touch to every word on the page. The pen’s standout feature is its comfort. The grip is soft and ergonomic making extended writing sessions a breeze. It glides effortlessly across the page with no skips or interruptions—a must for anyone who needs reliability. And the ink? Perfection. It dries almost instantly ensuring there’s never a smudge in sight. What I love most about this pen is its consistency. It delivers smooth bold lines every time and the 1.0mm tip strikes the perfect balance between precision and expressiveness. Whether you’re brainstorming or drafting your next masterpiece this pen won’t let you down. Highly recommend it for anyone who values quality in their writing tools!
