Scratchy and light ink
on May 5, 2025
Posted by: C.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the weight and grip of these pens as well as the color however the positives end there. The tip of the pen is scratchy as in the ink does not flow well and I feel like I am dragging a dried up pen across the paper. Similarly because the ink doesn't come out smoothly my writing ends up pretty light almost as if the pen is running out of ink even though it's brand new. I definitely would not opt to use these pens again.

A Pen for Pen Lovers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher I use a lot of different writing tools throughout the day and I definitely have my favorites! I love it when I find a pen that writes smoothly shows up well and is comfortable to hold. The Staples ProGel Pen has it all! I have used this pen for taking notes recording grades and writing thank you notes. The pen moves smoothly for both print and cursive writing. The ink is bold but does not smudge or bleed through the paper. The fine tip allows for clear writing even in small grade book boxes! The rubber grip makes it comfortable and easy to hold and the click top means no lost pen caps! The Pro Gel pen has easily become a new favorite!

Has Potential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive the Staples ProGel Pen as I am an avid pen user. I love buying and trying a variety of pens. The staples pen was a bit disappointing due to the amount of ink released from the pen. I was able to get enough ink on the paper to show my words however I wish the ink was more bold. However the pen itself felt great while holding and didn’t cause any issues in that aspect. If Staples can get more ink and a smoother print this pen would be perfect for everyone.

Smooth and bold
on May 5, 2025
Posted by: C.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens were wonderful for taking notes writing list and prepping mg schedule. I loved how smoothly these write. Sometimes when I use a pen I have to get it started before the ink starts flowing but there was no issue with these. There was no smearing either when filling in my calendar. As a person with poor handwriting the fine tips on these was perfect for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens worked really well for writing in a journal. They tip was great and didn't smudge. I liked the color and they worked for what I was using then for.
