New Favorite Gel Pen
on March 21, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using these pens for the last week or two and they are my new favorite gel pens. They write smoothly. I prefer a fine tip and these are perfect. Not too fine and not too wide. The ink dries quickly and I haven't had any issues with the ink blotting. I also have not had any issues with carrying these in my bag and having them leak on the bag or it's contents. The grip on the pen is comfortable and comparable to other pens I've used previously. Overall I've been extremely satisfied with this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a physical therapist so while most of my day is spent typing away I do find myself jotting notes and signing things throughout the day. These pens compared to the other ones at my desk dried so quickly! I never ended up with mysterious pen marks and smudges all over my hand by the end of the day. They write smoothly and easily on checks regular printer paper labels and even sticky notes. The 0.7 tip is small enough that the lines are fine and crisp but not so small that you accidentally cut through the paper you're trying to use. As you can see in the photo the ink dried almost instantly. There is a small smudge along the bottom of "after" which I dragged my finger across immediately following the word. You can also see how smoothly the pen glides with no catches or skips.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is very comfortable to hold. It has a rubber grip around the base. It’s not a super soft rubber but there’s enough cushion to it for it to be comfortable. This pen also writes like a dream. There are other more expensive brands out there and this one achieves the same outcome if not better. The gel writes very nicely without any breaks in the writing and dries very quickly! I appreciate it being retractable as well since I’m typically throwing it in my car or a bag and don’t want pen marks everywhere. Also one less peice to keep up with!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have stuck to the same type of pen for almost 10 years now but its almost impossible to find in store and expensive to buy online. This Staples ProGel pen is a solid substitute and a good choice for anyone who is as peculiar about pens as I am. It feels like a luxury pen because it writes so smoothly and the grip is comfortable. The all black design is my favorite part because it makes it feel very sleek and professional when I use it at work. The ink did not dry instantly but it was very quick and much faster than most other gel pens I've tried. I'm a lefty and I didn't have any problem with smudging from my hand so this is a good pen for people who are left handed and don't want to turn their notebook upside down when they write with it. The Staples ProGel pen will definitely be living on my desk from now on.
