Dry Smooth and Long Lasting indeed
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to The Stellar Product Testing Panel for the provision of these gel pens for me to test and review! My overall impression of the Staples ProGelPen is that this is an awesome product for those who love to write in ink! I was thoroughly impressed by how quickly the ink dried! No smudges or ink stains on my hands after using this pen is a huge plus in my book! Other gel pens I’ve used in the past have always left stains or smudges on my hands or papers so this pen is definitely a cut above the others I have tried. Perhaps it’s due to the fine pen point or maybe the secret is in the pen’s solution either way I’m a happy customer. As a huge fan of stationary pens and all things school supplies I’d definitely purchase these pens again. Writing with the Staples ProGel Pen is very comfortable and smooth. I like that it includes a little gripper. However what I enjoyed most about this pen though remains the quick-dry time which is hard to come by in the gel pen variety.

Staples ProGel Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Pen is a great option for a gel pen. I love how smoothly it writes. The ink dries quickly especially for a gel pen. I have the blue color and the color really stands out especially on white paper. The grip is comfortable and the pen is easy to use. I have some at work and some at home for personal use. This is a great pen for everyday use!

My new favorite pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: J.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the Staples gel pens. I work in an office full-time and gel pens are the most commonly used instrument for me. I also use highlighters a lot so it’s important to me that the gel pen dries quickly so that when I highlight the ink does not smear. These pens really impress me with their drying time and nice crisp lines. They write super smoothly and they are very comfortable to write with. These pounds will become a new staple in my office. I also told my coworkers about these and they love them as well.

Pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a pen nerd and definitely have my favorite brands. What I was expecting from the Staples ProGel was just a basic adequate pen. I was really surprised by everything about it from the cushioning to the smoothness of the writing experience. I tend to hold my pens a bit oddly and a bit too tightly which leads to a lot of hand fatigue. The cushioned area is firm with grooved flat spots that I find much more comfortable than the soft squishy padding of my previously preferred pen. And it writes so smoothly. The ink dried extremely quickly too. Instantly really on regular paper. And even on shiny paper it dries in just 5 or 6 seconds. I will definitely be reaching for these over my other pens from now on.

Great gel pen with a comfortable grip
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Pen is a great retractable pen that I think is very comparable to a name-brand gel pen that I typically prefer to use. I do a lot of writing as part of my job and I am very picky about my pens. I actually bring my own pens to work because I don’t like the ones that they provide. The Staples pen writes very smooth and dries very quickly so it is not easily smudged. My favorite part is the ergonomic grip which is very comfortable and something that the name brand gel pen is lacking. At times I felt like the pen wrote a little thick but nothing that I found to be a problem. I will be interested to see how long the pen lasts compared to my usual pen; I’ve currently been using it for 2 weeks. I go through pens quickly at my job. I would definitely use the Staples pen in place of the name-brand pen and an added bonus is that Staples brand items are usually at a lower price point. If it does cost less I don’t feel that it is sacrificing quality.

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

[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.

Smooth and precise
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: E.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens. I find they are smoother and cleaner than regular ink pen. These Staples ProGel Pens are no exception. They are bold and vivid on paper. They are not messy or watery. They have clean lines. They do not take time to dry. It is instant. They do not smudge which is a prevalent problem with many gel pens. The gel is thin so it doesn’t bleed into other pages. I have used it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems so far. It didn’t skip and the ball didn’t get stuck. This is such a great pen and I am happy with it.
