Surprisingly smooth and quality pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love gel pens particularly smooth-writing sets at 0.7 mm. These Staples ProGel Pens unexpectedly fit the bill and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality. While I wasn’t in love with the bulky grip I found they flowed smoothly and wrote comfortably and most importantly dried quickly (in less than 30 seconds). That meant my planner and notebooks were free from smudges and transfers — faster than some more expensive pens of a similar style. The ink is vibrant but doesn’t bleed through pages. I’d love to see these in more colors!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of these gel pens was impressed! I was a little hesitant to try them because I am very picky with my pens. I am a firm believer that certain pens can change handwriting. I can never write nice with the cheap pens. So these passed my test! I like that the comfort grip is cushioned and that they do not smear. I usually like pilot or acroball pens and these in comparison do not smear as much. It is quick drying compared to the others I like. I definitely will purchase after these run out as I genuinely enjoy them!

The pen was more than I expected
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got the staples gel pens I thought they were not going to meet my expectations. The packet came with plenty of pens for at home office and to have some in my purse. At a glance it looks like a simple pen...however once you start using it you will fall in love with them. They are so light and easy to write with. I got the blue ink pro gel pens and the color is so rich and vibrant. The ink dries of pretty fast compared to other pens. I have used my pen for some time and the ink seems to last longer. I tend to lose pens but I will be taking care of this one !!!

A New Staple for Smooth Writing
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: jsoles
from Washington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When given the option I tend to go for gel pens with the click-to-write/retractable feature. (I hate pen caps - they get lost or I break them while fidgeting.) They're my go-to choice despite having a variety of other pens scattered throughout my desk. The Staples ProGel Pen is as good or better than other gel pens I've used. Initially it felt lighter than expected which gave me pause but as soon as I started writing any concerns about its weight vanished. It's comfortable and smooth. This pen will be my new staple. Pros: Writes smoothly dries almost instantly doesn't bleed through paper comfortable grip. Cons: None?

No more smeared ink1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on call for work quite a bit so find myself taking notes on any available scrap of paper. I have found smeared ink later that made it hard to read my notes. That is no longer an issue when I use the Staples ProGel Pen! I keep one in my backpack in the car and of course in my desk now. Of course since my coworkers have discovered how well they work I have to hide them to avoid them being stolen.

Smooth operator

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is great for daily writing. It had super fast drying time and had a very smooth ink flow. I loved the gripper padding that made extended writing very comfortable. It did have a medium point and you must be careful not to get the ink wet to prevent smearing. Overall very good quality pen.

Staple ProGel pen
on March 21, 2024
Posted by: R.L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of being a product reviewer tester for stellar product reviews and was able to test out these gel pens from staples. These pens are fabulous! They have a nice fine point easily glide across the page without big ink blots and dry quicky! I also took the red stopper off the end of every pen in the package and wrote with them to make sure that EVERY pen wore the same way. I was recently at a conference where the speakers spoke fast. Covering material quickly and then moving on. I prefer to write in pen when note taking and was happy using these pens. Smooth letters and drawings no smudging or ink on my hands and super important they didn’t stop working randomly. I have had pens before that you have to stop and shake mid sentence to get the ink to come out again… not with these. The grip is good too comfortable to use for the 4 plus hours I used it for!

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens work well. They do not smear or smudge when writing. They do not have a funny smell. They glide well over the paper leaving clear image. I use this mainly for work and since it is sensitive information I can not show you all of the writing but have made some sample writing to show the quality of these pens! I am surprised at how long they last. Normally with gell type pens the ink will run out fast but this pen lasts for a long time. I would definitely recommend these pens for anyone that works with regular paper. If you use a product like "Rite in the Rain" all weather paper it will smear very badly. Make sure to only use these pens on regular paper.
