Love these pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using these pens! I can’t wait to buy more. They write smoothly and dries fast. There is absolutely no smudging. They are easy to write with and they write beautifully!

Just as good as leading brands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ProGel pen is just as good as leading brands. Generic brand gel pens are typically less consistently smooth and inky as the more expensive brands. But the Staples brand has exceeded my expectations. I can write large portions in my notebook without the ink skipping. The dry time is also quite fast and I have not experienced smudging. The pen has a bit of cushion in its grip which is comfortable. Overall I highly recommend these pens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great gel pen that writes very smoothly but doesn’t smear! It has been a pleasure to write with!

Great pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are good enough to be competitive with the pens with larger followings. It wrote very well and didn’t “catch” on anything. I write in cursive every day so it’s important for me to find a good pen. I’m please with these.

Great gel pen

from Bon Air
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer to use gel pens and was pleased with how smooth the ProGel Pen writes compared to other brands. The pen is comfortable to hold and is not too heavy. The only downside was the ink did take a few seconds to dry and if you are not careful the ink will smudge. I am a nurse and used this pen during my shifts and it held up great for 3 12 hour shifts in a row!

Stellar Gel Pen

from Temecula
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very specific about the kind of pens I like - I don’t like when they smear or run and I like when they glide and are easy to write with. These pens fit exactly what I love in a pen! They write easily they don’t smear and they have a strong black ink color. Love them!

Writes smoothly and dries fast

from Grand Chute
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these pens. They write very smoothly and they dry fast enough to not smear as I write (though I can't speak for my poor left-handed brethren; I'm a righty). It is pretty comfortable to hold too at least for short times. I could imagine it eventually getting sore if you're writing pages and pages but I'm mostly just signing checks or writing notes to myself these days.

Nice pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Staples ProGel Pen. The blue color is bright and vibrant. The ink comes out smoothly and feels good. It feels great on the hand and when you're writing it's seamless. No stops and starts just perfectly formed letters. It dries quickly but if you immediately go back and wipe it will smudge. You have to give it at least a couple seconds to dry. It doesn't take a crazy amount of pressure to eject the pen from the barrel. At first there's a little red stopped ball on the end so you either write it off or pull it off. My husband writes a lot at work and has many pens and this is his favorite so that's really saying something. It's normally the only pen he takes now and he's scared to death someone will see it and steal it or use it and steal it. He likes to keep his own to prevent the spread of germs though. Since he's been bringing his own pen he hasn't been sick near as much. The grip feels nice in your hand and molds to you. The tip size is Fine point 0.7 mm. I would definitely recommend this pen. It's my favorite right now too.
