Great product. Pens write very clearly and cleanly. Price was very competitive. Service at Staples was outstanding.

TRU RED™ Retractable Quick Dry Gel Pens is NOT what it used to be!

I purchased this product as the old Staples Gel Pen is no longer being offered for sale. Totally disappointed in this product as it does not write without using a tremendous amount of force then ink comes out heavily and skips. I do not plan to use this pen and recommend not to purchase this item. The old Staples Gel Pen would be getting a Five Star rating.

I do a ton of writing specifically in the form of journaling and note taking pretty much everyday which means I need a pen that is comfortable to use and has a smooth flow of ink. I first started using the Tru Red line maybe....a year ago and fell in love with the black version. It was everything I needed and trust me I've used a variety of pens over the years. The last pen I feel in love with was the Tul (which I may go back to after this). The problem I've been having as of late with the Tru Red pen is that the quality is not the same as it was initially when I first started using them. Recently I picked up the 12 pack because I loved the colors. I've tried so far out of this pack the black teal red purple and blue. Here's the problem: Some of the pens write extremely well while others don't come out as smoothly or much at all so you have to keep writing over what you've already written. This is extremely frustrating to the point I'm tempted to throw away the entire pack and just go back to the Tul's. This isn't the first time it's happened so I can't say it's a fluke. I bought Tru Red's in all black and I had the same thing happen. Once I'm done with this pack I won't be purchasing any more.

I was hesitant to buy these pens since I didn’t know the brand. I’m glad I tried them. They are terrific—great colors nice flow. I’ll definitely try other pens from this company.

Nice smooth writing pens. Remember to remove the plastic tip that keeps the ink from drying out before using
