Busy Mom of 4
on March 21, 2024

from Bloomington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a busy homeschooling Mom of 4 and I’m really organized and intentional about the type of pen I use in my every day. I’m really particular about the way that the grip feels and the gel ink writes. I like this pen specifically because the gel dries quickly. I use it to make notes in my Bible and find that the ink doesn’t smudge or run at all. I also use it in my written planner as needed and find that it writes really smoothly. I’ve used other gel pens in the past and now gravitate toward this pen. This might seem dramatic but I just don’t have time for a mess when I’m writing with pen (I often use just pencil) and I’ve been happy with this.

Love these pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working solo parents I need to write EVERYTHING down otherwise I forget it! My To Do lists seem never-ending so it's important to me to always have a writing tool nearby to jot something down. These gel pens from Staples work wonders! They write so smoothly and dry quickly. I did not experience any smearing and the letters had clear beginnings and ends - the ink didn't drag from one letter to another. This pen is super easy to hold quite comfortable and very easy to write with. I love the blue even though I'm usually more of a purple pen person. It's useful to have blue pens in my inventory so that I can fill out important paperwork. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for these pens in different colors!

Smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall my impression of this gel pen is highly positive. Compared to other gel ink pens I've used this one stands out for its smooth and consistent ink flow which creates clean and precise lines without any skipping or smudging. The ink dry time is impressively quick allowing for fast-paced writing without worrying about smearing. Additionally the pen's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold for extended periods reducing hand fatigue during long writing sessions. What I liked most about this pen is its reliability and comfort making it a go-to choice for everyday writing tasks.

Quick drying on most paper and oh so smooth
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a 5 pack of Staples ProGel 0.7 pens. This is a very smooth writing gel pen with a bold black color that is comfortable in your fingers due to the cushioned grip. The ink does dry rather quickly but not instantly on all paper types. This ink smeared on card stock but not in my planner. I have used other gel pens that do the same. I like the smoothness of the Staples ProGel best and will use it often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is great for daily writing. It had super fast drying time and had a very smooth ink flow. I loved the gripper padding that made extended writing very comfortable. It did have a medium point and you must be careful not to get the ink wet to prevent smearing. Overall very good quality pen.

Staple ProGel pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of being a product reviewer tester for stellar product reviews and was able to test out these gel pens from staples. These pens are fabulous! They have a nice fine point easily glide across the page without big ink blots and dry quicky! I also took the red stopper off the end of every pen in the package and wrote with them to make sure that EVERY pen wore the same way. I was recently at a conference where the speakers spoke fast. Covering material quickly and then moving on. I prefer to write in pen when note taking and was happy using these pens. Smooth letters and drawings no smudging or ink on my hands and super important they didn’t stop working randomly. I have had pens before that you have to stop and shake mid sentence to get the ink to come out again… not with these. The grip is good too comfortable to use for the 4 plus hours I used it for!

No more smeared ink1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on call for work quite a bit so find myself taking notes on any available scrap of paper. I have found smeared ink later that made it hard to read my notes. That is no longer an issue when I use the Staples ProGel Pen! I keep one in my backpack in the car and of course in my desk now. Of course since my coworkers have discovered how well they work I have to hide them to avoid them being stolen.

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.
