Smooth Operator
on November 22, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is called the smooth operator in my book (literally). Sleek and comfortable the gel pen fits and looks perfectly in between my fingers. The sleekness of the pens design creates a comfortability while excessive writing so you never stop in your quality of work. Never skipping a pen stroke or ink distribution while writing I love the neatness and output of the pens ink to paper finish. Definitely awarded the name Smooth Operator!

Definitely Delivers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen Bold Point 1.0 mm with blank ink through the Stellar Review Panel. I love a good gel pen and let me tell you this one definitely delivers! Outside of being excited this pen is retractable no bulky cap needed I was happy to see that the pen is transparent and allows you to see ink levels. It’s so frustrating to not know you’re getting low on ink and finding your pen not working during a meeting. I still prefer to take notes in a notebook so I found this pen not only comfortable in my grip during a 2-hour call but the ink flowed very smoothly and smudge-free as I wrote. I typically prefer a pen that’s very inky and wet but this pen allows me to take much cleaner looking notes. So far I’ve had no issues with the pen and would definitely recommend it to someone!

Glides like a dream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow just WOW! This is my first time using Staples brand pens and I am kicking myself for not trying them sooner. The pen is great quality with a comfortable grip and weight to it. The ball rolls like a dream and made it made writing in cursive feel effortless with no skips or ink bleed. The gel dried instantly so there is no wait time or worrying about ink transfer. This is definitely one of those pens that you’ll want to keep put away so that no one walks off with it. I plan on buying these in every color!

Smooth glider

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received a pack of Staples ProGel 1.0 pens for free in return for my honest review . I have to say these pens are amazing! The ink flows so smoothly making writing an absolute breeze. The gel dries quickly so no smudges even on glossy surfaces which is a big win for me. I used these pens to write a ton of birthday cards recently—seriously so many cards—and not once did the ink skip or dry out. The grip is comfortable too so my hand didn’t cramp even after writing for ages. The bold rich ink gives every word a professional and polished look which is perfect for special occasions or even everyday use. If you’re someone who values a reliable smooth-writing pen the Staples ProGel 1.0 is definitely worth trying out. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens worked well. They are much thicker than I typically use but they work very well. They write very well and I had no trouble with the ink coming out and it was very consistent.

Writes well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Design of the pen was as expected. Nothing fancy. The pen writes well. Ink quality was good. I did not notice any smudges when writing and I am a left handed writer. The ink came out smooth without any issues.

Amazing pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would consider myself as a pen snob! I love writing notes and lists and a great pen is a must! This pen meets all my standards. From the moment I popped off the waxy ball cover the glide of the pen was perfect! No lag in the ink. That’s a big one for me- I don’t want to have to rewrite over the same letter for the ink to come out. It is comfortable to hold with the comfort grip.

Good gel pen

[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.
