Pleasantly surprised
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: Kate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a pen nerd and definitely have my favorite brands. What I was expecting from the Staples ProGel was just a basic adequate pen. I was really surprised by everything about it from the cushioning to the smoothness of the writing experience. I tend to hold my pens a bit oddly and a bit too tightly which leads to a lot of hand fatigue. The cushioned area is firm with grooved flat spots that I find much more comfortable than the soft squishy padding of my previously preferred pen. And it writes so smoothly. The ink dried extremely quickly too. Instantly really on regular paper. And even on shiny paper it dries in just 5 or 6 seconds. I will definitely be reaching for these over my other pens from now on.

The Pen is Mighter than the Sword

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "The pen is mightier than the sword" is a phrase that couldn't be more true especially when it comes to fulfilling my family’s continuing education needs. We require a pen that we can rely on and amongst all the pens we've tried the Staples Gel pen has never let us down. Even if my kids leave it lying around it always writes without fail. Its ink flows silk smooth and dark making it visible even in low-lit rooms. It never smudges or bleeds through the paper even when my kids use it to sketch and color in their drawings. It dries quickly and lasts a long time without losing its quality. Above all else with a comfortable grip to hold for those long hours of writing. When I take notes for my studies I need a pen that won't fail me. I have to write a lot and wasting time on pens that don't work is not an option for me. As a busy mom with a household to run and kids to take care of every minute is precious. That's why having a reliable pen is not just important but crucial to me. The simplicity of even a pen is often overlooked but once you find the right one you'll understand the quality you can get with the Staples ProGel Pen. Knowing that I have the pen that meets my family's needs to journal our feelings and thoughts is a great relief. I definitely recommend seeking out the Staples ProGel Pen brand and its various colors; you won’t be disappointed.

Makes Me Love Writing Again
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: J.R.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really really like the Staples Pro-Gel Pen. It really writes smooth and I love that it comes in a Fine tip as that is my favorite tip to write with. I have used other gel pens in the past but the ink has always bled on the paper and at work that can be really troublesome because once that happens I would have to start over again which doesn’t make me very productive. The Staples Pro-Gel pen did not bleed at all! I touched the paper immediately and it dried so quickly…that made me very happy! The pen was very comfortable to write with. It felt light and soft against my fingers and I wrote. What I like most about it is that it seems durable and that it seems to me that it will be long lasting which is what I need to have on a daily basis at work. I also like that the black ink is dark and that it did not smudge and it gave me confidence to be able to complete my tasks on time. I really am impressed with these pens and I will make sure to share about how great they are to my coworkers and my friends!

Good quality pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel pens worked great. They had a smooth consistency and didn’t need any prepping before the ink started to flow. I’ve used one for about two weeks now and it still looks completely full of ink. The grip is comfortable and felt like a good weight in my hand (heavy pens can be hard for me to write with for a long time). I am a righty so I don’t struggle with pen smears but the ink seemed to dry quickly if that is a problem you usually have. Overall I’ll definitely buy them again.

Better Than Expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never so excited about a gel pen in my life! As soon as I took it out of the package I could feel that it was more comfortable than other pens I usually use. The slight flat parts on the grip fit so well in my fingers. That along with the smooth glide of the pen across paper make it almost effortless to use! It does not crease my paper and doesn’t feel “scratchy” on any type of paper I’ve tried it on. The ink dries incredibly quickly and does not bead up when holding pen still. This is excellent for me being left handed as I am very used to accidentally smearing the words I write. Compared to other gel pens I’ve used this one takes the cake! Definitely will be buying more in the future!

Solid blue pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: S.M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen worked really well with fluid ink and a quick dry time. I like the size of the ball and it is super smooth to write with. The blue color is vibrant and way more fun than black! Comfortable to hold and easy to store since it retractable. I would recommend this pen to anyone looking for a solid blue pen with no frills

Surprisingly smooth and quality pen
on March 21, 2024

from Ballwin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens particularly smooth-writing sets at 0.7 mm. These Staples ProGel Pens unexpectedly fit the bill and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality. While I wasn’t in love with the bulky grip I found they flowed smoothly and wrote comfortably and most importantly dried quickly (in less than 30 seconds). That meant my planner and notebooks were free from smudges and transfers — faster than some more expensive pens of a similar style. The ink is vibrant but doesn’t bleed through pages. I’d love to see these in more colors!

In love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of these gel pens was impressed! I was a little hesitant to try them because I am very picky with my pens. I am a firm believer that certain pens can change handwriting. I can never write nice with the cheap pens. So these passed my test! I like that the comfort grip is cushioned and that they do not smear. I usually like pilot or acroball pens and these in comparison do not smear as much. It is quick drying compared to the others I like. I definitely will purchase after these run out as I genuinely enjoy them!
