Fast drying Smooth and Easy on the hand
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing pen! It has a super comfortable grip and writes so smoothly with such natural pressure. I am a frequent journaler and pretty picky about pens. I was getting tired of a lot of my other pens because with so much required pressure to write I find I can’t fully write out my thoughts. This pen makes it easy for long journaling sessions it writes smooth it dries fast and doesn’t smudge. Also I had no issues with blotting or no ink flow. It was all very very smooth. I was impressed that even on slick magazine paper it dried fast (about five seconds) and never smudged. Ultra impressed when my toddler used it to draw on a plastic toy I can’t believe it even wrote on that surface! I will definitely get more of these if they come in different colors and thicknesses.

Writes great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this gel pen writes great and has innovative grip design but does not look as good as some other gel pens I use. The pen writes smooth and solid. I like rich deep blue color of its ink. And the ink dries really fast. I wrote a couple of words and checked immediately to see if it smudges and it did not! I would say it takes around 3-4 seconds for the ink to dry. The grip of this pen is different than what I have used before. It has three curved triangular sides which really helps with the grip. I personally appreciate the innovative design. I liked the pen. Some of the great things about this pen are its smooth writing and grip. On the other hand I don’t like its style and the way it looks. It could look better and more stylish.

Office Basics Done Well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big fan of these pens. Attention to detail is obvious as soon as you take it out of the package with the tip covers to ensure it writes the first time it touches paper. The ink itself is the same shade and tone as any other major brand and the tip width is nice. The tail end of pen strokes is finer and avoids sloppy blotches at the end of words. My favorite thing about the pen is the triangular-shaped grip with a nice texture. I find the broader surface more comfortable for longer writing sessions over a circular grip.

Staples ProGel Pen is Amazing

from Monument
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pen so much! Even though I'm on a computer for quite a bit of the day I'm often on meetings where I take notes. This pen has become my go-to because of the comfort of writing with it the ease with which it glides across the paper and how quickly it dries. I have lots of other gel pens from other companies and this one is by far the best. I am going to go get any other colors available.

Does NOT smear
on March 21, 2024

from Rincon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pen and highly recommend it to anyone who writes a lot or anyone who is tired of having gel pens smear! I have used so many gel pens as these are my favorite but it annoys me when you pay so much money and then it bleeds or smears. Staples ProGel dries quickly and also comfortable to hold and write with as the pens have a cushioned grip. The ink is also brighter than other brands. The 0.7 tip is great for medium thickness it's not to skinny and not to thick making it a great every day office pen. My sophomore loves the pens as well!

Fast drying and No smearing

from Henderson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write all day for work and what I loved most is this pen is always ready to write! No skipping no drying out it never smeared and the ink never ran or bled through papers. The grip is very comfortable to write with and the ink is so smooth regardless of the angle you hold the pen for printing and/or cursive lettering. I completely recommend this pen for your professional and personal needs

Writes Beautifully

from Victoria
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are great for my everyday writing and also perfect for using at work. I do a lot of note taking when on phone calls and also filling in forms so having a pen that I can rely on is important. I get consistent results every time I use it and it does dry quickly so I haven't had any issues with smearing. The bold color makes it easy to read and it never skips when I'm writing.

This is THE pen

from Broken Arrow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom who can only keep track of life’s everyday tasks by making endless to-do lists having a great quality pen is extremely important to me. I have a car pen a purse pen multiple desk pens and a pen in just about every room of my home. Everyone has their favorite pen… the “good”pen the one you want to use for signing birthday cards writing in your planner or signing a permission slip. This pen right here is my favorite. The weight is in between light and heavy creating that perfect balance for smooth pen strokes. And while we’re on the topic of pen strokes this pen glides like a dream and dries instantly leaving no traces behind when your hand glides across it. It has instantly become my car pen my purse pen and my birthday card go to. I feel confident knowing that every time I pick this pen up I’m going to write beautifully with comfort and ease. It makes safe to say I am beyond impressed!
