Bold is better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out the bold black pens and overall enjoy using them. I write a lot of messages for work so a good pen is essential. The bold pen has a nice grip to it - and writes with a nice thickness to the ink. My issue with the ink is it doesn't dry as fast as I'd like and I've smeared appointment cards and reminders when I'm working quickly. The ink flows a lot better than the fine point pens offered from Staples. I would definitely buy another pack of these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with these pens. They were very comfortable to hold with the rubber grip. They wrote very smooth and didn’t smear (even when my leftie daughter used them). It was a nice red color and the perfect fine point not too fine and not too thick.

Average Quality Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the Staples ProGel Pen was that it looks and performs like an average writing utensil. Once using it it was very comfortable to use with the ergonomic grip and had a quick dry time reducing it smudging. I always like blue and other colored pens because it’s less likely to photocopy. Overall it’s an average product.

My office mates love these pens because they print everything (on Staples multiuse paper) and have to scribble illegibly all over them. The ink dries quickly so when they doodle incomprehensively on things and run to pass it through the scanner it doesn't smear or gunk up our scanner.

Every couple of years or so I buy a box of gel pens. They seem to disappear while the old ball point pens multiply in my desk. This year I bought the Staples brand to see how they are. They are identical to the more expensive pens!

They feel nice. They flow the ink a tad too well. They can produce messy characters while writing.

I don't care for it but I know banks prefer checks written in this ink as their are so many thief's who steal and wash them.
