Smooth feel and bold writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of this Staples ProGel Pen in my hand as it glides across the page. I’m a nurse so I handwrite chart notes all day. I need a utensil that’s bold dries quickly and doesn’t smear. I write pretty rapidly and this pen dries extremely fast! The retraction mechanism is smooth with a satisfying “click.” The finger grip is comfortable and allows for sturdiness while holding. I prefer 0.5mm fine point for my writing but I still found this pen very pleasant to use compared to others. I deducted one star as the ink almost loses its flow and sometimes does not produce a solid mark with fast writing.

Fast drying Smooth and Easy on the hand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing pen! It has a super comfortable grip and writes so smoothly with such natural pressure. I am a frequent journaler and pretty picky about pens. I was getting tired of a lot of my other pens because with so much required pressure to write I find I can’t fully write out my thoughts. This pen makes it easy for long journaling sessions it writes smooth it dries fast and doesn’t smudge. Also I had no issues with blotting or no ink flow. It was all very very smooth. I was impressed that even on slick magazine paper it dried fast (about five seconds) and never smudged. Ultra impressed when my toddler used it to draw on a plastic toy I can’t believe it even wrote on that surface! I will definitely get more of these if they come in different colors and thicknesses.

Writes great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this gel pen writes great and has innovative grip design but does not look as good as some other gel pens I use. The pen writes smooth and solid. I like rich deep blue color of its ink. And the ink dries really fast. I wrote a couple of words and checked immediately to see if it smudges and it did not! I would say it takes around 3-4 seconds for the ink to dry. The grip of this pen is different than what I have used before. It has three curved triangular sides which really helps with the grip. I personally appreciate the innovative design. I liked the pen. Some of the great things about this pen are its smooth writing and grip. On the other hand I don’t like its style and the way it looks. It could look better and more stylish.

This is THE pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom who can only keep track of life’s everyday tasks by making endless to-do lists having a great quality pen is extremely important to me. I have a car pen a purse pen multiple desk pens and a pen in just about every room of my home. Everyone has their favorite pen… the “good”pen the one you want to use for signing birthday cards writing in your planner or signing a permission slip. This pen right here is my favorite. The weight is in between light and heavy creating that perfect balance for smooth pen strokes. And while we’re on the topic of pen strokes this pen glides like a dream and dries instantly leaving no traces behind when your hand glides across it. It has instantly become my car pen my purse pen and my birthday card go to. I feel confident knowing that every time I pick this pen up I’m going to write beautifully with comfort and ease. It makes safe to say I am beyond impressed!

Just as good as leading brands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ProGel pen is just as good as leading brands. Generic brand gel pens are typically less consistently smooth and inky as the more expensive brands. But the Staples brand has exceeded my expectations. I can write large portions in my notebook without the ink skipping. The dry time is also quite fast and I have not experienced smudging. The pen has a bit of cushion in its grip which is comfortable. Overall I highly recommend these pens.

Overall a Great Gel Pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: H.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying the Staples ProGel Pens in the color Black and the tip size of Fine 0.7mm for the first time I am overall pleasantly surprised. These pens are extremely comfortable to write with and each pen is ergonomically designed with a grip for extra comfort. The size of the writing line is perfect for everyday and professional use. Compared to other gel pens these are very comparable however they do have more benefits than most. They do come in a pack of 5 pens so you can put one in your purse your backpack your briefcase or even on your desk at work. While writing with these pens the ink drys relatively fast to help reduce smudging and they write extremely smooth. I would definitely purchase these again in the future.

Writes so smooth
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: K.E.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel pen is very comparable to brand name pens. It writes incredibly smooth and the ink dries quickly. I don’t have any issues with smearing or smudging as long it has had a few seconds to dry. I particularly like the grip on this pen too it’s very comfortable to hold.
