I like the way they write I don"t like that 1 of the 5 will not write. The ink looks separated.

This pen didn't feel "fine" when writing; it felt more "medium." I am not happy with it and I should've returned the package after opening it.

Smooth ink and great value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am really enjoying writing with this pen. The look is very sleek and professional. I used the pen at a recent meeting and received a compliment! The pen is comfortable to write with - it has a nice grip at the bottom. I love the way the pens writes it glides smoothly on the paper. I tried it in both my planner and a notebook. It does smear slightly but nothing very noticeable. I am just conscious about letting it dry all the way before I close my planner. It does not leak through the page however you can slightly see what is written when you hold it up to light. Overall the pen is a great value and easy to use. I highly recommend it!

Smooth and bold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had these pens for about a month now and I’ve loved them! I typically choose ballpoint with traditional ink but I love how smooth and bold these pens are. They do not smudge and I still feel controlled when I write with them unlike other inky pens. The color is bold and the grip is super comfortable.

Bold And Smudge Free Writing
on November 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These retractable gel pens are awesome! They have the super comfortable and easy to hold grips with the perfect ridges for maximum comfort while writing. They have very great quality ink THAT STAYS CONSISTENT throughout the entirety of use of each pen which is a lot of times an issue for many different brands/styles of gel pens. One of my biggest pet peeves with gel pens is going to use it when the ink level is still nearly full but yet it won’t come out when I try writing with it. So I’ve really put these to the test before leaving this review; & I can say I was honestly surprised that I ended up using all the ink up in one of the pens and NOT ONCE did it ever give me trouble with ink flow when I used it. Came out bright and bold every single use. My other huge pet peeve with gel pens is smudging which everyone knows is a very common issue when writing with them. But again I used an entire pen full of ink out of this pack & never experienced smudging when writing a full page moving my hand across the pages as I write. Also I should add it took me a month to use up the ink from just one of these pens and that was with plenty of use almost every single day of that month. So the ink lasts surprisingly long. You’re also able to monitor the ink levels of these pens thanks to the transparent barrel design. Overall I love these pens! I only leave a 4 star rating because I like my gel pen tips to be just a little smaller for thinner lines when writing. But other than that the design grips ink & overall quality of these retractable gel pens is near perfect!

Awesome no smear pen great for lefties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I am so impressed by the quality of this own! You can TRY to smear the ink and it won’t BUDGE! this is so rare with gel pens. My husband is a lefty and can never use gel pens for this reason- until now! It’s his new go-to work pen. The ink dispersal is also very even and it doesn’t come out in big clumps even after using it for a while. My husband and I both have been using this pen regularly for about a month and are still loving it. My only small criticism is the line is pretty thick. Personal preference but would LOVE a finer tip version of this pen.

Great pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is great! I work from home and take lots of notes for my job so I need a reliable pen that doesn't smudge when I write. This pen is just that! I usually have to worry about dry time with gel pens but not with this one. I can run my hand over it almost immediately after writing and it doesn't smear or smudge. I think the design of the pen is nice and makes for a comfortable hold and the ink is consistent since it's a gel pen. Overall a pen that I will definitely keep stocked on my desk.
