Smooth and dries immediately
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: I.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Staples ProGel Pen Fine 0.7 mm has become my new favorite pen. It writes smoothly with clean line and dries immediately. My husband is left-handed and he said that the pen did not smear and the flow was so smooth. It even writes well on thermal paper like receipts. The rubber is easy on fingers and provides a comfortable grip. I used this to write a bunch of thank you notes and my hand doesn't cramp as bad as it is with other pens. This pen works flawlessly and I love how smooth and comfortable it is.

Perfect everyday pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very high quality pen. Comfortable nice feel and SO quick drying. I love a good gel pen that allows me to write quickly and smoothly with no smearing. It stays screwed tight so you don't have to worry about parts coming loose in your bag or leaks. Really just a nice quality gel pen. This pack will last a long time too. Worth noting it writes well on different thickness of paper too without bleeding.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was very skeptical since a lot of other gel pens have had issues. I was VERY excited of the grip it had. It made the ease of writing so outstanding! I was very surprised at how fast the ink dried within SECONDS!!! Due to the performance grip I felt that I had ease of use to write and not worry about any ink smear at the same time! I would say my favorite thing about the pen was how well the ink flowed out of the pen and onto the paper. Effortless writing and drawing made simple.

Love this pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am VERY picky about my pens. Up until now I only used a very specific brand of gel pen and could not find one I liked as much. The Staples ProGel Pen has converted me. The grip is comfortable. Instead of a standard round grip it is a slight triangle shaped grip. This is comfortable on my hand. The triangle is not so pronounced that it digs in anywhere. The pen writes very smoothly and glides over paper nicely . The ink lines are not too thin and not too thick. The ink disperses evenly throughout use. Overall I am very happy with this pen. I do a lot of writing on a daily basis and am happy to use this pen long term The ink dries incredible quickly - I was unable to smear the ink even almost immediately after writing.

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

from Austin
[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!
