My new favorite red pen
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: J.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really happy for the opportunity to try out these pens. I work in a small office and am constantly using pens and markers and highlighters etc. this was very comfortable in my hand and easy to write with. The ink quality is superb. It writes a really nice line. The writing quality is smooth. These pens will definitely be a staple in my day-to-day office duties.

Smooth write and comfortable grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher I’m always looking for a reliable pen with a smooth write that doesn’t run. This gel pen is it! While red isn’t my preferred color to correct papers in this red has a slightly pink hue which made the red appear less harsh - perfect for correcting first graders’ work and perfect for the holiday season! This pen dries on contact and glides easily while making a star on my students’ work. I would definitely purchase in additional colors!

Great match of quality and cost

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these pens for backups. These are quite comfortable in the hand and for a 1mm the ink dries quickly. If you are a southpaw it still won’t dry fast enough. Is not a pen that handles an hour long meeting taking physical notes but for quick notes at the desk it will be my go to.

Comfortable Smooth Pen
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: M.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pretty fussy when it comes to pens so I was thrilled to use such a comfortable pen. Nicely desiged to ensure a comfortable writing experience.The pen has a great grip to make writing easy. The ink is a pretty blue and the pen writes super smooth. Nice bold stroke so it is very easy to read. The ink dries quickly even on a greeting card - so no smears. Thanks to Staples for allowing me to use and test these pens. I have replaced my pens around the house and in my purse so one of these is always easily in reach. Great find!

Best Pens Ever
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: G.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pans are the best pens I’ve ever used. They are so lightweight and easy to grip. When writing they glide nicely and the writing comes across so smooth. You don’t even need to apply pressure when writing because the glide across the paper is effortless. Additionally the ink dried instantaneously so there were no smudges. My kids loved these pens as well and said they are so easy and comfortable to write with and made writing their school papers so much easier. I will definitely be purchasing these pens going forward.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen writes incredibly easy. It fits in my hand and is light. The gel ink goes down easy and doesn’t smear. Great pen for everyday use.

Great budget option if you prefer gel pens
on November 23, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely prefer gel pens over any other style so I was excited to try out the Staples ProGel Pen. I think the bold thickness of 1.0mm is absolutely perfect (I previously tried Staples ProGel 0.7mm and it's a little thinner than I like) and it really makes your writing stand out on the page - boldly! The ink is nice and smooth and the blue color is deep and saturated. I will say that the grip of the pen is not as comfortable as I would like and that's the main reason I am giving this 4 out of 5 stars in my rating. The ridges ensure that the pen won't slip between your fingers while you're writing but I would prefer a softer padding. Another reason I gave this 4 stars is because of quality control. Granted this box comes with 12 pens and is a great value especially if you work in an office where your coworkers always seem to "accidentally" walk away with your pen... because it doesn't break the bank to grab a new one! But the very first pen I grabbed from the box was missing the tiny red "cap" at the tip that prevents the ink from drying out. Sure enough that particular pen was skipping a bit because the ink had dried. Out of 12 pens in the box only one was missing the red cap and I just happened to grab the unlucky one. It's not a dealbreaker by any means and probably even expected when you buy budget pens! Lastly as you can see from my photo I wrote "smudge test" and immediately ran my finger over those words. I was pleasantly surprised that the ink did not smudge at all! I definitely expected to get a little ink on my finger or smear the words but the ink seems to dry instantly. I was very impressed. Overall I don't think I would use this as my everyday pen due to the comfort factor but I would absolutely keep a few tucked in my bag for that emergency situation when someone asks "Got a pen?"

Smooth writing
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: M.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Pen in Blue Ink Bold 1.0 mm size is just what I need for my everyday writing. The pen is easy to handle due to the size the retractable mechanism and also the comfortable grip. The ink flow was smooth without any skipping bleeding or smudging. The bold size was useful even when a smaller tip point was needed. The Staples ProGel pen is nice and I look forward to trying more colors.
