The document summarizes a study that uses paper chromatography to separate the pigments in different colored marker inks. Paper chromatography involves placing a small ink sample at the bottom of a paper strip and allowing a solvent to travel up the strip, separating the ink pigments as they move at different rates based on how well they dissolve in the solvent. The study aims to obtain chromatograms of various gel ink colors to identify their pure or mixed components by calculating retention factor (Rf) values. Filter paper is used with an ethanol solution to separate black, red, blue, and other colored ink samples and observe where the separated pigments travel up the paper.

Chromatography is a method for analyzing mixtures by separating them into the
chemicals from which they are made. It can be used to separate mixtures like ink, blood,
gasoline, and lipstick. In ink chromatography, you are separating the colored pigments
that make up the color of the pen. Even though a pen will only write in one color, the ink
is made from a mixture of different colored pigments. To perform ink chromatography,
you put a small dot of ink to be separated at one end of a strip of filter paper. This end of
the paper strip is placed in a solvent. The solvent moves up the paper strip and, as it travels
upward, it dissolves the mixture of chemicals and pulls them up the paper. The chemicals
that dissolve best in the solvent will move up the paper strip further than chemicals that
do not dissolve as well. What is produced from this method is a chromatogram. Forensic
scientists can use ink chromatography to solve crimes by matching documents or stains
found at a crime scene to the marker or pen that belongs to a suspect. Forensic scientists analyze the unknown ink and compare it with writing utensils collected from possible
suspects.
