Smooth and Bold
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: S.S.
from Rixeyville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this pen! The writing is SO smooth it feels like butter when writing with it. I have started to prefer writing with a 0.5mm gel pen but this 1.0mm is perfect when I want to make something bold and easy for my students to read when writing notes. I have the 0.7mm version of this pen as well and I actually prefer the thicker ink. I’m glad this pen comes with so many in a pack because I think I’m going to go through these quickly. I have really enjoyed writing with these and would love to get them in more colors.

Nice Pens Nice Flow and Grip
on November 19, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are one of the best pens that I have ever wrote with because of it's nice flow and grip. It's overall appearance is very appealing and unique which makes it very fun to write with. I can write with these pens very comfortable while I am holding them in between my fingers. I like how they don't skip and the print is nice bold and smooth. They are high quality and performs it's best without drying out. Lastly what I like most about these pens is that they would last a long time.

Take it from a picky pen person
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: J.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a left-handed stylophile my entire life. As a kid my desk drawer was a treasure trove of pens—hotel freebies restaurant giveaways vibrant gel pens and felt-tip markers galore. You get the picture. Fast forward to adulthood where in my profession note-taking is practically a job requirement and naturally I've found the pen: blue or black gel pens of course. Enter the ProGel Pens from Staples—a fantastic dupe for another brand I've been hoarding since grad school. These gems deliver excellent quality and to my delight they’re also easier on the wallet. Consider me officially impressed!

Great pen

from Rochester
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the way the pen writes and the color of the ink. It also dries quickly so it doesn’t smudge. The look and design are nice I like the little clip it has on it. It was comfortable to write with because it has the padded part. Overall great pen and would buy again.

Quick drying ink and writes smoothly
on November 19, 2024

from Layton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has a very nice comfortable grip. I love the retractable feature as I’m always losing lids to pens and then they dry out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ink comes out thick and even. That’s not usually what I expect from a gel pen so I was happy about smooth it writes. And the ink dries super fast! No smudges across the page or on the edge of my hand as I write. I definitely recommend buying this pen.

High Quality Smooth Writing Pen
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: K.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen is by far one of the best pens I have ever used. In the past many pens like this that I’ve tried would smudge on the paper or on your hands - not so with this pen. It was very comfortable to write with on paper with a smooth action throughout - no bumps in the writing process. The grip on the pen was very comfortable creating no tension on your hand. The ink was very vibrant and consistent without any streaks and this is what I liked most about the pen. The point size on the pen was bold and I was surprised by how much I liked this since I typically use fine point pens.

Nice Red Pen

from Bartlett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples ProGel Retractable Gel pen is a great pen for everyday use. It is comfortable to write with and has a nice grip. The ink is smooth and dries quickly without smearing. I have been using the pen on a daily basis for list making at home (the red ink is especially festive this time of year for making Christmas lists) and making notes at work. Overall this pen is well constructed ink looks great on the page and writes like a dream!
