Surprisingly smooth and quality pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens particularly smooth-writing sets at 0.7 mm. These Staples ProGel Pens unexpectedly fit the bill and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality. While I wasn’t in love with the bulky grip I found they flowed smoothly and wrote comfortably and most importantly dried quickly (in less than 30 seconds). That meant my planner and notebooks were free from smudges and transfers — faster than some more expensive pens of a similar style. The ink is vibrant but doesn’t bleed through pages. I’d love to see these in more colors!

Progel Pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: E.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having received the Staples ProGel Pen through the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was eager to put it to the test. My overall impression? It's a standout among gel ink pens offering a superior writing experience compared to others I've used. Thanks to the quick-drying ink writing with the ProGel Pen is a breeze minimizing smudging and ensuring clean precise lines. This feature makes it perfect for various writing tasks from quick notes to lengthy documents. What I liked most about the ProGel Pen is its reliability. The ink flows consistently without skipping or blobbing resulting in consistently crisp lines. Whether for everyday writing or detailed work this pen delivers dependable performance. Things that can be improved is the comfort of the pen but it isn't a deal breaker. In conclusion the Staples ProGel Pen exceeds expectations with its quick-drying ink comfort and reliability.

Very Impressive Quality Pens
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These gel pens are amazing! I kind of have an addiction to pens and have only 2 styles that I will use for writing. If I use a pen to write something & I feel like my handwriting looks bad I will re-write it with a different pen so I’m very picky and selective with what pens I’ll use! I tried these pens out & was completely shocked at how smoothly they write. My handwriting looked better than I expected the ink dries so quickly so no smearing when moving your hand on the paper. The gripper on the pen made it SO comfortable to hold and the ridges on the gripper make the pen sit perfectly in between your fingers while writing. The ink makes the perfect sized writing not too thin not too thick. I’m obsessed with these pens now & am most definitely going to get me some more in black ink as well!!! I’m replacing the 2 only styles of pens that I’ve been using with these! Haven’t ever used a more comfortable pen that I actually liked my handwriting with before! If you’re a pen addict like me & always looking for the perfect pen for you to write with THESE ARE A MUST TRY! I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed! L

Amazingly smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received my Staples Gel Pro pen my first thought was it is going to be like all the other ones on the market. That first thought was wrong. I absolutely love this pen. It writes so smoothly and drying time is instantly it does not run or smudge when you write with it. I literally carry this pen with me in my pocket every day at work and put a pink sticker on it so I know it’s mine. I refuse to share this pen with anyone.

Nice pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Staples ProGel Pen. The blue color is bright and vibrant. The ink comes out smoothly and feels good. It feels great on the hand and when you're writing it's seamless. No stops and starts just perfectly formed letters. It dries quickly but if you immediately go back and wipe it will smudge. You have to give it at least a couple seconds to dry. It doesn't take a crazy amount of pressure to eject the pen from the barrel. At first there's a little red stopped ball on the end so you either write it off or pull it off. My husband writes a lot at work and has many pens and this is his favorite so that's really saying something. It's normally the only pen he takes now and he's scared to death someone will see it and steal it or use it and steal it. He likes to keep his own to prevent the spread of germs though. Since he's been bringing his own pen he hasn't been sick near as much. The grip feels nice in your hand and molds to you. The tip size is Fine point 0.7 mm. I would definitely recommend this pen. It's my favorite right now too.

Dry Smooth and Long Lasting indeed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to The Stellar Product Testing Panel for the provision of these gel pens for me to test and review! My overall impression of the Staples ProGelPen is that this is an awesome product for those who love to write in ink! I was thoroughly impressed by how quickly the ink dried! No smudges or ink stains on my hands after using this pen is a huge plus in my book! Other gel pens I’ve used in the past have always left stains or smudges on my hands or papers so this pen is definitely a cut above the others I have tried. Perhaps it’s due to the fine pen point or maybe the secret is in the pen’s solution either way I’m a happy customer. As a huge fan of stationary pens and all things school supplies I’d definitely purchase these pens again. Writing with the Staples ProGel Pen is very comfortable and smooth. I like that it includes a little gripper. However what I enjoyed most about this pen though remains the quick-dry time which is hard to come by in the gel pen variety.

Smooth and dark ProGel Pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of writing at my job in the records and registration department of a big high school so I am a pen snob and mainly write with retractable gel pens. This 0.7mm fine point gel pen is my new absolute favorite! It writes so smooth and precise and the ink is a rich dark black that dries right away. The "deepness" of the ink is what makes it better than the rest. I used to switch to a permanent marker to write on colored file folders but can now use this gel pen all day long (see photo). The bottom folder is written with this ProGel pen the middle folder is with a permanent marker and the top folder is written with the gel pen I used before. This pen has a ribbed contour cushion grip that is a mm thicker and placed several mm higher than I'm used to but I easily adjusted. The ink doesn't leak or bleed through paper and rarely smudges. The only time it smears is when used on top of correction tape and then you touch it with your hand or try to use a highlighter on top of it but this is normal of all gel pens I've used. I just know to give it some time to dry before going over the writing with a highlighter. I haven't ben using it that long so I can't speak to it's longevity yet but I usually use a pen a month. I covet the ProGel pens I have! I've even put my intials on them in case I leave it at someone else's desk LOL.
