Love These Pens
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: M.T.
[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.

Gel without the mess
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: AS
from Somerville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher my go to pen is either gel or felt tip. I typically steer away from gel pens when I have to sign reports because they always smear - always! These pens however do the exact opposite! They write like gel and have the gel feel - you know that amazing gliding feeling while you write! - and they dry almost immediately. I absolutely LOVE using them in my classroom. The only thing I'm not a fan of and to be honest it's just me being picky is the clicking sound when you retract the pen. It's a little "click-ier" than usual retractable pens. But if you're a gel pen lover and hate the mess I definitely would recommend these!

Staples ProGel Pen
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: S.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples ProGel pen is my new favorite pen because it improves my handwriting. The bold ink flows smoothly and dries very fast. Goodbye smudges! The triangular grin is extraordinarily comfortable which makes it the perfect pen for a short note or a long letter.

Great everyday pen

from Neenah
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen has great ink quality that is bold and smooth. I am left handed and I did not notice any issues with the ink smearing. The grip is comfortable and I like how vibrant the ink looks without bleeding through the page. I would recommend this pen!

Above Average Writing Utensil for Daily Needs
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: Andrea
from Edison
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt that the overall look and design of this pen was on par with most writing utensils in this range. The clear body tube design was adequate and the rubber grip helped keep my fingers on the pen without much slippage. It was relatively easy and comfortable to hold for long periods of time and definitely didn't cramp my fingers or hands. I felt that the ergonomic look and design of this pen was adequate and accomplished its needs of being a good pen design. Again this pen was pretty comfortable to write with and after using various types of media to create letters checks and other it was absolutely a pleasant experience. I felt that the ink quality was fine and on par with most gel pens. The ink didn't smear or smudge while writing and that's one of my pet peeves with most pens. I think the quick drying technology of this pen allowed for a good writing experience and it definitely made me privy to using it more often than not. I also felt that the ink/gel was thick enough to make a good imprint on the paper but the ability to not create smudges or smearing factor made it pretty convenient to use at all times or moments. I liked the overall contoured shape of the pen and the quick ink drying technology. If there was one thing that I could change about this product it would be to include more ink with the product. I felt that the gel ink could be filled a bit more than what was currently available. And I understand that the product package included more pens but I felt that it would be better for the environment to include more ink/gel refills than to include more pens. Other than that I felt that I'll continue using this product more in the foreseeable future because it's a pleasant writing experience and I also believe that the ink drying technology is more than capable for my writing needs. I definitely recommend this product to my peers and all others who want a good writing experience with a capable writing utensil. Just don't expect it to make your breakfast lunch or dinner and you'll be fine. This product accomplishes its job more than enough times and I fully recommend it for all your writing needs.

Awesome Gel Pen
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: B.G.
from Norfolk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I heard that these pens were gel pens that did not smear I was honestly skeptical. I tried it and found out how quickly the ink dries on the paper. If you are quick you might be able to smear it a tiny bit but normally use will show no issue! As a left handed writer these are super helpful since my wrist and hand will usually smear anything I write on paper. These pens are great and eliminate my problem! Along with being comfortable in my hand and super smooth on the paper these pens are now my go-to!

Comfy Grip and Smooth Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite red pen. The ink is bright and really pigmented so it scans and copies well. The pen is very comfortable to write with and I love the larger point for nicely flowing handwriting.
