Great pen that glides across the paper
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: C.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great pens especially if you prefer gel pens. The pen glides across the paper and the ink flow is perfectly even. It also has a comfort grip so my fingers don't get uncomfortable when writing long journal entries. As I have gotten older my hands have begun to shake a bit. Having a pen that is really smooth with a well-controlled ink flow really helps to keep my writing looking neat and to avoid ink deposits where my hand shook when writing. Happy writing!

Staples ProGel Pen Review 1mm Bold Red
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Bluex44
from Oregon City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel pen immediately stands out with its professional build quality. Unlike cheaper alternatives that can feel flimsy this pen boasts a robust construction that inspires confidence during use. The clicking mechanism is particularly satisfying providing crisp tactile feedback with each press. The thoughtfully designed ergonomic grip enhances the pen's overall aesthetic while serving a practical purpose. The ergonomic grip design truly shines during extended writing sessions. The pen sits naturally in hand and the grip section provides just the right amount of cushioning without feeling overly soft or "mushy" like some budget pens. The balanced weight distribution contributes to a premium writing experience. The ProGel's ultra-smooth gel ink technology delivers exceptional performance. During testing the pen produced consistent lines without skipping or bleeding gliding effortlessly across the paper. The quick-dry formula appears to work as advertised making it particularly suitable for left-handed users or situations requiring rapid note-taking. The bold 1.0mm tip creates clear vibrant red lines that are perfect for marking and annotation work. This pen's standout feature is its combination of smooth writing performance and solid construction. Whether being used for grading papers taking notes or casual doodling the ProGel maintains consistent quality throughout various writing tasks. The pen strikes an excellent balance between professional functionality and writing comfort making it a reliable choice for daily use. The Staples ProGel pen offers exceptional value for those seeking a reliable comfortable writing instrument. While long-term durability remains to be tested the initial quality suggests promising longevity. This pen is particularly well-suited for teachers students or professionals who require a dependable red pen for marking and annotation work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has easily matched the performance of any other gel pen I've used. It's very easy to write with smooth doesn't bleed through and doesn't smudge easily. I don't have any complaints about it and it seems like it will last a long time.

Smooth and Comfortable Pens
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: S.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work from home and use different colored pens to mark statements. I love the Staples ProGel Bold 1.0 mm Red Pens for this purpose. Not only are the pens comfortable to write with but the red ink is bold and lasting. The design which shows the ink level is a nice touch. I also like that they come in a 12 pack! I most like that the ProGel is a smooth writing pen which looks nice on paper.

This Pen Is Mighty
on November 20, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit it I am a pen lover! After spending the past few days with the Staples ProGel retractable pen I'm genuinely impressed. The sleek black design with its professional appearance fits perfectly in both my office and when I'm jotting notes at coffee shops. Writing with the Staples ProGel feels effortless - it is lightweight and the comfortable grip means my hand stays relaxed even during long writing sessions. What really stands out is the ink quality - it flows smoothly without any annoying clumping during a word. My favorite feature has to be the bold 1.0mm point which creates crisp dark lines that make my handwriting look so much better than usual. While I usually just grab whatever pen is handy that won't be the case anymore. Now the Staples ProGel retractable pen has earned a permanent spot in my desk drawers and backpack. If you're someone who still prefers putting pen to paper like I do this Staples ProGel is definitely worth picking up.

Above Average Writing Utensil for Daily Needs
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Andrea
from Edison
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt that the overall look and design of this pen was on par with most writing utensils in this range. The clear body tube design was adequate and the rubber grip helped keep my fingers on the pen without much slippage. It was relatively easy and comfortable to hold for long periods of time and definitely didn't cramp my fingers or hands. I felt that the ergonomic look and design of this pen was adequate and accomplished its needs of being a good pen design. Again this pen was pretty comfortable to write with and after using various types of media to create letters checks and other it was absolutely a pleasant experience. I felt that the ink quality was fine and on par with most gel pens. The ink didn't smear or smudge while writing and that's one of my pet peeves with most pens. I think the quick drying technology of this pen allowed for a good writing experience and it definitely made me privy to using it more often than not. I also felt that the ink/gel was thick enough to make a good imprint on the paper but the ability to not create smudges or smearing factor made it pretty convenient to use at all times or moments. I liked the overall contoured shape of the pen and the quick ink drying technology. If there was one thing that I could change about this product it would be to include more ink with the product. I felt that the gel ink could be filled a bit more than what was currently available. And I understand that the product package included more pens but I felt that it would be better for the environment to include more ink/gel refills than to include more pens. Other than that I felt that I'll continue using this product more in the foreseeable future because it's a pleasant writing experience and I also believe that the ink drying technology is more than capable for my writing needs. I definitely recommend this product to my peers and all others who want a good writing experience with a capable writing utensil. Just don't expect it to make your breakfast lunch or dinner and you'll be fine. This product accomplishes its job more than enough times and I fully recommend it for all your writing needs.

Spectacular Pen
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Jess0108
from Burbank
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to be very picky about the pens that I use. I want them to write smoothly not bleed through the paper and feel good in my hand. This pen outperformed in all of my criteria for a great pen. The flattened grip made this pen super comfortable to write with which is a feature I wish more of my favorite pens had. The ink quality matched and even surpassed the quality of some of the name brand pens that I purchase on a regular basis. The thing that I liked most about this pen is how smooth writing with it feels. The pen glides over the paper with ease and I did not have any issues with the ink skipping as I was writing. Overall I really loved this pen and I hope to find it in a variety of different colors. As a teacher I write all day and am always looking for pens that I like.

from Henderson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write a lot at work and having a good pen is invaluable. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this pen performed. It writes at pick up there is no skipping it doesn’t bleed it dries instantly and the ink is so smooth and dark. I haven’t put this pen down as it’s my new favorite!! I only use this pen at work now. And I like that there is cap to lose just a simple click. The grip is very comfortable and length is perfect. I don’t have anything negative to say. This will be my go to pen from now on.
