[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pen. It works just as well as the popular similar pen that everyone has. You can't tell much of a difference. It writes smooth dries quickly and is comfortable to hold.

Smooth and Comfortable Pens
on November 20, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work from home and use different colored pens to mark statements. I love the Staples ProGel Bold 1.0 mm Red Pens for this purpose. Not only are the pens comfortable to write with but the red ink is bold and lasting. The design which shows the ink level is a nice touch. I also like that they come in a 12 pack! I most like that the ProGel is a smooth writing pen which looks nice on paper.

High Quality Pen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using these Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pens while studying or working. I'm currently studying for the LSATs and these pens have become a go-to when reviewing my work. These pens are well-designed and easy to write with. I love the soft ergonomic grip area around the pen- it makes it comfortable to write and hold the pen for longer periods of time and makes it easier to grip the pen overall. I was also really impressed with the quality of the ink! This pen glides across my paper easily while writing and the ink has a strong and brightly pigmented color that allows for easy readability and marking. Despite this bright pigment I haven't had any problems with the ink bleeding through to the other side of the paper. One of my favorite things about this pen is how quickly the ink dries. I have a tendency to smudge ink as I write but because this ink is so quick-drying I haven't had any problems with smudging or accidentally transferring ink to another page. Overall I really like these pens and I will definitely be continuing to use them as a part of my study routine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has easily matched the performance of any other gel pen I've used. It's very easy to write with smooth doesn't bleed through and doesn't smudge easily. I don't have any complaints about it and it seems like it will last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves writing whether it’s jotting down notes or crafting a novel. First the sleek design is both modern and functional with a solid build that feels durable and professional. The vibrant blue ink adds a polished touch to every word on the page. The pen’s standout feature is its comfort. The grip is soft and ergonomic making extended writing sessions a breeze. It glides effortlessly across the page with no skips or interruptions—a must for anyone who needs reliability. And the ink? Perfection. It dries almost instantly ensuring there’s never a smudge in sight. What I love most about this pen is its consistency. It delivers smooth bold lines every time and the 1.0mm tip strikes the perfect balance between precision and expressiveness. Whether you’re brainstorming or drafting your next masterpiece this pen won’t let you down. Highly recommend it for anyone who values quality in their writing tools!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing these pens for me to review. I am loving these Staples ProGel Retractable Pens as the ink glides so smoothly on paper. The red color is fantastic for grading! I appreciate the comfort grip. The push button at the top removes the contention of losing a pen cap. Overall I would definitely purchase these pens or recommend them to someone else.

Love These Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples ProGel Retractable Pens are my new favorites. They write smooth and don’t leave a smudge at all! They are easy to hold and grip to prevent any slipping. The ink is a bold black which is great for the type of work I do. I’ve replaced all of my pens with these and even brought a box to take to my office. I highly recommended!

Precision Pen
on November 20, 2024

from NOBLESVILLE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised at how well this "generic" pen ranked compared to the leading pens on the market. I was expecting a ho hum standard pen but what I got was a far superior pen. I typically by fine point pens as I usually need something that has some precision to it. But I was so impressed to see this "bold" pen. I was able to write tiny and legible. Each letter was clear without bleed and precise. The ink came out beautifully. There was no initial shake or doodles to get the ink flowing nor were there moments in the life of the pen when it suddenly "dried up." The ergonomic cushion is a little more than I'm used to but I really liked it and it seemed to fit my hand well. 10/10 would buy.
