[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!
[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.
[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!
[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.] Love these Staples pens! The color is bold the pens are light weight and the ink flows perfectly. I’m very much paper and pen person and these meet my standards perfectly. Highly reccomend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this is a pen. It’s just a pen so don’t get too excited. But it’s a really decent pen. It gets the job done. No drying no having to scribble for awhile to coax the ink flowing. Just a reliable decent pen. It’s the pen you want back when you loan it but not overpriced that you cry when it gets lost. 10/10 pen. Would make this my normal go to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pens! Comfortable grips are a plus. Quick dry works well but takes a few seconds. Will still smudge if touched immediately. Overall it's a great product.
[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!
