Writes smooth

from NEW ALBANY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very picky when it comes to pens. I want to make sure it’s comfortable to hold and writes smoothly. I will say these pens tick off both of those boxes. I had no issues with them stop working like cheaper pens. The grip felt good and I didn’t get finger cramps trying to write. I am hyper mobile in my hand so I have a hard time with my grip but these did help to keep it. The pens wrote boldly and I had no issues seeing what I wrote and it didn’t fade as I kept writing in my planner. I’d definitely purchase more of these pens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has become my new favorite pen! I loved teh bold point it gave a very smooth feeling when I was writing. The grip was comfortable and non-slip so I was able to use it for a while without re-gripping. I'm very happy to have replaced all my other inferrior pens!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always appreciate a good black pen. These Staples ProGel Retractable black pens are easy to hold and write decently right out of the package. I would definitely consider buying these in the future!

Great general use pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After testing the Staples ProGel 1.0 pen I am pretty happy with it. When I first started to use the pen the ink would skip so it didn't write very smooth at first however that did eventually correct itself. So I recommend you break the pen in before using it for anything important. I also tested the ink for smudging and bleeding the ink does tend to smudge slightly immediately after being written. After about 5 seconds the ink is completely dry and won't smudge this is a slight issue when writing left handed. I did not have any issues with the ink bleeding through normal note book paper so flying colors there. Overall I am happy with them they're a great pen for just simple notes or whatnot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are now in my top three favorites! They write so smooth glide effortlessly across the paper and the color is fantastic. They are comfortable in the hand too which is also a big deal.

Great Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I absolutely love these ProGel pens! They write incredibly smooth and have a very comfortable ergonomic grip. I write down a lot of notes for work and have had issues with other pens smearing in the past. These ProGels dry very quickly and I’ve had no smearing issues at all! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality pen!

No Smudge Ink

from Saint Paul
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pens! They write smoothly and don't smudge which is a big plus for me because I hate having ink on my hands but love gel pens. The pens have comfortable grip and are easy to hold and use. The fine 0.7mm point makes writing precise and easy. I prefer a smaller point which can be hard to find but these were perfect. I had a few laying on my desk and my kids took a few and enjoyed using them as well. Overall they're very user-friendly and perfect for detailed work.
