High Quality Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using these Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens while studying or working. I'm currently studying for the LSATs and these pens have become a go-to when reviewing my work. These pens are well-designed and easy to write with. I love the soft ergonomic grip area around the pen- it makes it comfortable to write and hold the pen for longer periods of time and makes it easier to grip the pen overall. I was also really impressed with the quality of the ink! This pen glides across my paper easily while writing and the ink has a strong and brightly pigmented color that allows for easy readability and marking. Despite this bright pigment I haven't had any problems with the ink bleeding through to the other side of the paper. One of my favorite things about this pen is how quickly the ink dries. I have a tendency to smudge ink as I write but because this ink is so quick-drying I haven't had any problems with smudging or accidentally transferring ink to another page. Overall I really like these pens and I will definitely be continuing to use them as a part of my study routine!

worth every penny

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write a fair amount throughout the course of a day so a good pen can truly be a difference maker. This is one of those pens. Normally my index finger gets a little sore/fatigued and I must say this one faired much better. It fits smoothly into your hand so writing for a prolonged amount of time is much easier. We all know about ink and what a difference a good quality ink and tip can make. I always get that 'glob' that builds up and then what do you do when it is on the paper? You can't scrape if off so you pretty much just live with it. Not one time in the hours I'e used this pen did that happen. No 'globs' and a smooth steady ink. Do not hesitate to purchase these pens they are worth every 'pen'ny.

Bold and beautiful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite pen. I do a lot of writing at work. I’m old school and still prefer taking notes on paper. A few things I like about this pen: - it is very comfortable to hold even after a half day meeting. - it does not smear. My husband is left handed and often runs into a smearing problem — not here. - it write smoothly … almost too smooth. Be careful to lift the pen from paper when writing otherwise it will continue to glide (which makes writing easier but reading my notes more difficult) Overall a great sturdy reliable new office mate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pen. It works just as well as the popular similar pen that everyone has. You can't tell much of a difference. It writes smooth dries quickly and is comfortable to hold.

Comfy Grip and Smooth Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite red pen. The ink is bright and really pigmented so it scans and copies well. The pen is very comfortable to write with and I love the larger point for nicely flowing handwriting.

High Quality Smooth Writing Pen
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: K.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is by far one of the best pens I have ever used. In the past many pens like this that I’ve tried would smudge on the paper or on your hands - not so with this pen. It was very comfortable to write with on paper with a smooth action throughout - no bumps in the writing process. The grip on the pen was very comfortable creating no tension on your hand. The ink was very vibrant and consistent without any streaks and this is what I liked most about the pen. The point size on the pen was bold and I was surprised by how much I liked this since I typically use fine point pens.

Quick drying ink and writes smoothly
on November 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has a very nice comfortable grip. I love the retractable feature as I’m always losing lids to pens and then they dry out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ink comes out thick and even. That’s not usually what I expect from a gel pen so I was happy about smooth it writes. And the ink dries super fast! No smudges across the page or on the edge of my hand as I write. I definitely recommend buying this pen.

A Smooth Option

from Las Vegas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid pen with a comfortable grip hold and size. I have smaller hands and find some pens too be too bulky and big but this one fits my hand well and the grips are at the right positioning to make it easy to use. The ink is a thicker gel with a thicker point so writing is really smooth. My penmanship looks great which is how I usually judge my pens. The only negative is the gel can smudge a bit so you have to let it dry well and not touch it. Wouldn’t be great for a lefty. Overall it’s a really smooth writing comfortable easy to use pen!
