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!

The pen was more than I expected
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.A.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got the staples gel pens I thought they were not going to meet my expectations. The packet came with plenty of pens for at home office and to have some in my purse. At a glance it looks like a simple pen...however once you start using it you will fall in love with them. They are so light and easy to write with. I got the blue ink pro gel pens and the color is so rich and vibrant. The ink dries of pretty fast compared to other pens. I have used my pen for some time and the ink seems to last longer. I tend to lose pens but I will be taking care of this one !!!

A New Staple for Smooth Writing
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: jsoles
from Washington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When given the option I tend to go for gel pens with the click-to-write/retractable feature. (I hate pen caps - they get lost or I break them while fidgeting.) They're my go-to choice despite having a variety of other pens scattered throughout my desk. The Staples ProGel Pen is as good or better than other gel pens I've used. Initially it felt lighter than expected which gave me pause but as soon as I started writing any concerns about its weight vanished. It's comfortable and smooth. This pen will be my new staple. Pros: Writes smoothly dries almost instantly doesn't bleed through paper comfortable grip. Cons: None?

Progel Pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: E.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having received the Staples ProGel Pen through the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was eager to put it to the test. My overall impression? It's a standout among gel ink pens offering a superior writing experience compared to others I've used. Thanks to the quick-drying ink writing with the ProGel Pen is a breeze minimizing smudging and ensuring clean precise lines. This feature makes it perfect for various writing tasks from quick notes to lengthy documents. What I liked most about the ProGel Pen is its reliability. The ink flows consistently without skipping or blobbing resulting in consistently crisp lines. Whether for everyday writing or detailed work this pen delivers dependable performance. Things that can be improved is the comfort of the pen but it isn't a deal breaker. In conclusion the Staples ProGel Pen exceeds expectations with its quick-drying ink comfort and reliability.

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

[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!

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens work well. They do not smear or smudge when writing. They do not have a funny smell. They glide well over the paper leaving clear image. I use this mainly for work and since it is sensitive information I can not show you all of the writing but have made some sample writing to show the quality of these pens! I am surprised at how long they last. Normally with gell type pens the ink will run out fast but this pen lasts for a long time. I would definitely recommend these pens for anyone that works with regular paper. If you use a product like "Rite in the Rain" all weather paper it will smear very badly. Make sure to only use these pens on regular paper.

Amazingly smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received my Staples Gel Pro pen my first thought was it is going to be like all the other ones on the market. That first thought was wrong. I absolutely love this pen. It writes so smoothly and drying time is instantly it does not run or smudge when you write with it. I literally carry this pen with me in my pocket every day at work and put a pink sticker on it so I know it’s mine. I refuse to share this pen with anyone.
