Great refills5
I find myself refilling the pen rather often, but I write with it all day long in all of my classes, so this makes sense, and seems just about right with the other reports I've seen.

I wanted to point out that you do not need the base to remove the pen if you forget it or something like that.
Slightly disgusting, but in a pinch, you can put the cartridge between your two front teeth and pull the pen away from you. It doesn't hurt your teeth and the small ridge on the cartridge enables it to pop right out of the pen. Useful for quick cartridge changes during classes, etc.
Not the cleanest, so you'll want the base for most options, but if you don't have it, you can still remove the cartridges.
Alternatively, you can also use your fingernails, but this doesn't seem to work as well for some reason. Just grab the same little ridge and pull straight away from the pen. Works almost every time.

I Love My Livescribe & These Refills Work5
Nothing special about these refills. Just remember to use the docking station to pull out the old one. (There is a special hole for holding the refill to help pull it out). The originally refills have lasted for 30-40 pages in the small leather notebook I use in my job. Most pages are filled with text on every line for the most part. I ordered these because I couldn't find the ones that came with the original kit. Stupid me.

Would have preferred 5 blue ones4
Well, I just purchased this online and technically have not used any of these yet but had some comments I wanted to share right away.
1 CARTRIDGE = ~60-65 PAGES OF 8.5 x 11 SHEETS FILLED:
The first ink cartridge that I received with the pen originally filled 64 pages of 8.5 X 11 inch sheets, so that seemed reasonable. The second cartridge I am using seems well on the way (>54 sheets and still going) of doing the same (hence my recent purchase). Ideally these will do the same. However if you are going into a meeting expecting the pen to run out, bring the base (or something that can extract the cartridge) so you can change ink on the fly.

RED CARTRIDGE MAY NEVER BE USED:
I did not like the idea of having to buy a red cartridge, but this is the only way to get refills here. On the pen site you can get just get blue or black cartridge sets, but you also have to pay for shipping. That's equivalent to the cost of the cartridge. When I order here, I always get the order cost up (easy to do when you have a Wish list in the thousands), so shipping is free, hence my opting to buy a package that includes a cartridge with red ink. It kind of irks me that I have to buy something I don't need, to be most cost effective. Rarely do people use red ink, and since you have to use the same pen, it is really not very sensible to expect people to use this color cartridge. Please correct me if I am wrong here. Maybe the pen should be fitted with a two cartridges for people that want that option. I don't.
