[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] overall impression of these pens was really good they are nice and “inky” just the way I like a pen. The ink was bold and fine point was very precise. They are comfortable to write with and the grip felt good in my hand. Would recommend these pens to a friend

Bold and smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens glides smoothly and leaves a bold mark. The pen felt extremely comfortable to use and I had no issue with it writing as I took notes for a class. I love to conserve paper usage and I love that the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens do not bleed through and the writing does not show on the other side. The only con that I had with the pen is that it can smudge a bit due to the pen residue not drying as quick but other than that this pen is absolutely amazing. Another benefit from the staples brand is that it comes in a 5 pack when others tend to often offer only 3 packs. I used a pen all week to take notes and took approximately 13 pages worth of notes and still had a bunch of ink left over. Overall I give the Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens a 9/10 and would definitely use again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens Bold Point 1.0mm Blue Ink 5/Pack have been an absolute delight for me. They write exceptionally well and the ease of use on paper is simply unmatched. I’ve made them my go-to pens for any writing task. The bold point feature is particularly noteworthy. It creates a smooth and effortless writing experience. The ergonomic grip is incredibly comfortable and the firmness of the pen ensures a comfortable writing sensation. My favorite aspect of these pens is the overall writing experience. The blue ink color is also a perfect choice. If you’re a fan of bold point gel pens I highly recommend these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was genuinely impressed with these retractable gel pens from the moment I started using them. The ink flows effortlessly creating bold rich lines that are perfect for both writing and sketching. The bold point gives my writing a clean and professional look without smudging or skipping. One of the best features is how comfortable they are to use. The ergonomic grip is soft and supportive making long writing sessions easy on my hand. Even after extended use there was no cramping or discomfort—just smooth consistent writing. What I liked most about these pens is the perfect combination of style function and comfort. They look sleek feel great in the hand and deliver high-quality results every time. I’ll definitely be keeping a few of these on hand at all times!

Great no smudge pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these pens. I love a good clicker gel pen and this one did not disappoint. It always feels like I have to be careful to not smudge the ink with a gel pen but even when I tried to intentionally smudge the writing I couldn’t! This definitely fits the bill for a lower cost higher quality pen you can rely on to work well. It was comfortable to write with and write smoothly without skipping or having splotchy ink.

Penominal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the red gel pens packaging was very positive. The transparent cover provided a clear view of the red pens inside which was a nice touch. The pens themselves are excellent—the-boldness and fine point are phenomenal and they write smoothly and cleanly without any smudging. The grip is comfortable and ergonomically designed making it easy to write for extended periods. Overall I’m very satisfied with these pens. I would definitely recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen writes really nicely! The grip is great and not too big and bulky and not too small. It writes very smooth and makes my penmanship look nice!
