Staples ProGel Retractable Gel Pen Bold Point 1.0mm Blue Ink 36 Pack (ST62587)

I'm a fan of blue pens rather than black. I made a special trip to Staples to get more of these. They're a bold blue color and don't smear. They weren't the least expensive, but in my opinion are the best in their category.

Good pens. I bought them because I read somewhere that it's harder for people to erase gel ink on checks, which I still use. Smooth writing and feels good in the hand

Very good quality blue ink. Smooth to the touch. Easy to use and write.

Writes nice and cheaper than bic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it's a pen

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the pen to write but once I did I have been very satisfied. I am sure that my checks will not be stolen and rewritten because these pens write strong and firm

Pens don't appear to have a full load of ink. Time will tell when I see how long it lasts. But for limited usage so far, ink has gone down more than it should.

Alas, these gel pens are not reliable. The ink doesn't flow well, or it skips. One of the pens actually squeaked as I wrote. I thought I was saving money but it was a waste.

I wanted a pen to write checkes with. These pens are too thick and make it impossible to write in the small lines in a checkbook register. I chose the THIN pen to replace it. And it works very well. Same make different model.

Pens look like the BIC, but they are not the same. It is hard to write with. This is like fooling the customer.
