Smooth writing pen
on June 15, 2025

from Tamaroa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Black Ink 5/Pack. I usually stick to name brand pens but this pen surprisingly was great! It wrote great smooth and continuous without any issues. The black bold font was great! I tried them out at work where I use a lot of pens filling out paperwork and never had an issue with the pen not writing or working properly. I liked the bold point pen and wasn’t too overly bold. The end clicked as it should. The rubber grip was comfortable to grasp and use without any problems or discomfort. I would recommend others to try the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Black Ink 5/Pack.

Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens. Gel pens are my favorite type of pens. I was particularly impressed with grip on this pen. I find that most pen grips are not comfortable. Also the Fine Point 0.7mm was great because it did not smear the page. A lot of gel pens I find smear as I write however the Staples ProGel pen did not smear. I would definitely recommend this pen.

Solid Choice for an Everyday Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been enjoying these Staples gel pens so far. The ergonomic grip design makes writing effortless greatly reducing hand strain during writing sessions. The bold ink point is perfectly balanced—not too thick just enough for neat legible penmanship. My only minor concern is that the ink can sometimes appear streaky but I’m hoping this improves with more use. Bonus: Despite being gel ink these pens don’t bleed through to the other side of the page which is a big plus!

Go to Pen for Editing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Writes very smoothly. There is no interruption in ink flow so it’s become my go-to pen when editing documents. The ink glides easily on the paper and there isn’t any excess when starting or ending use. I typically prefer finer points but this pen writes so seamlessly I don’t mind the thicker point. The grip is comfortable and the clicking sound is so satisfying every time.

Great pen
on June 15, 2025
Posted by: Lynda M
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very picky with my pens. I want them to feel a certain way when I write with them. This pen didn’t quite give me the feeling I wanted but it was close. I did enjoy the bold point I love when a pen has a thick stroke. The ergonomic strip was nice felt comfortable. Definitely a great pen!

Bold Pen for the win

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens did not disappoint! As a person that's super picky about having favorite pens- I have to say these really performed well even with daily frequent use. The bold gel worked seamlessly through full work days and honestly to my surprise no smudging! (I'm a lefty so smudges are usually inevitable for me). Overall I really like the fit of the grip in hand and the fact that the ink glides so smoothly on different types of paper: notebook and thicker print paper alike it handled various types without a hiccup. I highly recommend giving these Staples ProGel pens a try. It's a bonus that they're retractable and make them easier to keep up with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving my Staples progel retractable gel pen! The bold point is perfect making my handwriting clear and neat. These pens are super comfortable to write with They have been great for note taking When I am writing for a whole class sometimes my hands can get sore but not with these pens! Although there are multiple things I like about these pens the bold point is definitely my favorite I love the way my handwriting looks when I write with these pens!

Good Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the pen overall. It writes smoothly and felt comfortable in my hand. The blue ink is rich and moves evenly through the pen without any bare patches. It isn’t necessary to scribble first to get the ink going you can just start writing.
