Great for beginners
The ink is very forgiving for beginners. It doesn't feather too much on cheap paper, which is great for school supplies. The red is a nice bright shade.

Consistent quality
I have purchased the 401 and 402 models multiple times. The consistency in color and flow is excellent. The 50ml bottle lasts a long time even with daily use.

Reliable and safe
As a teacher, I recommend this ink to parents. It is high-quality, non-toxic, and ensures that fountain pens remain in good working condition for students.

No more clogged pens!
We switched to Dax ink after struggling with carbon inks that kept blocking the nibs. This non-carbon formula is a lifesaver. Highly recommend for young students learning to write.

Perfect for my son's homework
This ink flows smoothly without clogging the pen. My elementary school son uses it daily for his calligraphy practice, and we haven't had a single issue. The pure blue color is vibrant and easy to read.

Good value for the price
Bought the black and red bottles for my daughter's art projects. The dye-based formula cleans up easily if spilled. It dries reasonably fast on standard notebook paper.
Q: Does the 50ml bottle come with a dropper?
A: Yes, the bottle typically includes a built-in or separate dropper mechanism to make refilling your converter or piston filler easy and mess-free.
Q: Can I mix the Red and Pure Blue to make purple?
A: While technically possible, we do not recommend mixing different colors as it may alter the chemical balance and potentially affect flow or cause sediment.
Q: How long does it take for the ink to dry on standard paper?
A: Drying time varies by paper type, but on standard school notebook paper, it usually dries within 10 to 20 seconds.
Q: Is this ink suitable for vintage fountain pens?
A: Yes, because it is a dye-based, non-carbon formula, it is generally safe for vintage pens and reduces the risk of clogging compared to carbon inks.
Q: Is this product genuine Dax brand?
A: Absolutely. All our stock is sourced directly from authorized distributors to ensure you receive 100% genuine Dax 401-404 series ink.
