Smooth writing
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Ash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has been a delight to write with. It has a comfortable design for writing. I like that the pen is clear so you can see how much ink is left in each pen. I am left handed and often have issues with some ink bleeding onto my palm from the paper. I had no issues with this pen. I am very particular about how a pen writes and am quick to disregard a pen that I don’t like. Since I tried these pens it is all I have been using. I take notes regularly and this is been my pen of choice. I like the quality of the gel ink. It looks very clean on paper. With this pens ink it doesn’t bleed through the paper much so it’s barely noticeable when you try to write on the back of the page. I like the quality of ink comfort grip of this pen and it’s fine point .

worth every penny
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: C.N.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write a fair amount throughout the course of a day so a good pen can truly be a difference maker. This is one of those pens. Normally my index finger gets a little sore/fatigued and I must say this one faired much better. It fits smoothly into your hand so writing for a prolonged amount of time is much easier. We all know about ink and what a difference a good quality ink and tip can make. I always get that 'glob' that builds up and then what do you do when it is on the paper? You can't scrape if off so you pretty much just live with it. Not one time in the hours I'e used this pen did that happen. No 'globs' and a smooth steady ink. Do not hesitate to purchase these pens they are worth every 'pen'ny.

This Pen Is Mighty
on November 20, 2024

from Edmond
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit it I am a pen lover! After spending the past few days with the Staples ProGel retractable pen I'm genuinely impressed. The sleek black design with its professional appearance fits perfectly in both my office and when I'm jotting notes at coffee shops. Writing with the Staples ProGel feels effortless - it is lightweight and the comfortable grip means my hand stays relaxed even during long writing sessions. What really stands out is the ink quality - it flows smoothly without any annoying clumping during a word. My favorite feature has to be the bold 1.0mm point which creates crisp dark lines that make my handwriting look so much better than usual. While I usually just grab whatever pen is handy that won't be the case anymore. Now the Staples ProGel retractable pen has earned a permanent spot in my desk drawers and backpack. If you're someone who still prefers putting pen to paper like I do this Staples ProGel is definitely worth picking up.

Staples ProGel Pen Review 1mm Bold Red
on November 20, 2024

from Oregon City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel pen immediately stands out with its professional build quality. Unlike cheaper alternatives that can feel flimsy this pen boasts a robust construction that inspires confidence during use. The clicking mechanism is particularly satisfying providing crisp tactile feedback with each press. The thoughtfully designed ergonomic grip enhances the pen's overall aesthetic while serving a practical purpose. The ergonomic grip design truly shines during extended writing sessions. The pen sits naturally in hand and the grip section provides just the right amount of cushioning without feeling overly soft or "mushy" like some budget pens. The balanced weight distribution contributes to a premium writing experience. The ProGel's ultra-smooth gel ink technology delivers exceptional performance. During testing the pen produced consistent lines without skipping or bleeding gliding effortlessly across the paper. The quick-dry formula appears to work as advertised making it particularly suitable for left-handed users or situations requiring rapid note-taking. The bold 1.0mm tip creates clear vibrant red lines that are perfect for marking and annotation work. This pen's standout feature is its combination of smooth writing performance and solid construction. Whether being used for grading papers taking notes or casual doodling the ProGel maintains consistent quality throughout various writing tasks. The pen strikes an excellent balance between professional functionality and writing comfort making it a reliable choice for daily use. The Staples ProGel pen offers exceptional value for those seeking a reliable comfortable writing instrument. While long-term durability remains to be tested the initial quality suggests promising longevity. This pen is particularly well-suited for teachers students or professionals who require a dependable red pen for marking and annotation work.

Great pen that glides across the paper
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: C.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great pens especially if you prefer gel pens. The pen glides across the paper and the ink flow is perfectly even. It also has a comfort grip so my fingers don't get uncomfortable when writing long journal entries. As I have gotten older my hands have begun to shake a bit. Having a pen that is really smooth with a well-controlled ink flow really helps to keep my writing looking neat and to avoid ink deposits where my hand shook when writing. Happy writing!

from Henderson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write a lot at work and having a good pen is invaluable. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this pen performed. It writes at pick up there is no skipping it doesn’t bleed it dries instantly and the ink is so smooth and dark. I haven’t put this pen down as it’s my new favorite!! I only use this pen at work now. And I like that there is cap to lose just a simple click. The grip is very comfortable and length is perfect. I don’t have anything negative to say. This will be my go to pen from now on.

Bold and beautiful
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: A.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite pen. I do a lot of writing at work. I’m old school and still prefer taking notes on paper. A few things I like about this pen: - it is very comfortable to hold even after a half day meeting. - it does not smear. My husband is left handed and often runs into a smearing problem — not here. - it write smoothly … almost too smooth. Be careful to lift the pen from paper when writing otherwise it will continue to glide (which makes writing easier but reading my notes more difficult) Overall a great sturdy reliable new office mate!

Spectacular Pen
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Jess0108
from Burbank
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to be very picky about the pens that I use. I want them to write smoothly not bleed through the paper and feel good in my hand. This pen outperformed in all of my criteria for a great pen. The flattened grip made this pen super comfortable to write with which is a feature I wish more of my favorite pens had. The ink quality matched and even surpassed the quality of some of the name brand pens that I purchase on a regular basis. The thing that I liked most about this pen is how smooth writing with it feels. The pen glides over the paper with ease and I did not have any issues with the ink skipping as I was writing. Overall I really loved this pen and I hope to find it in a variety of different colors. As a teacher I write all day and am always looking for pens that I like.
