Pigments are not carried up filter paper, dyes are. But they are carried up in solvents.

It depend on the density of the pigments.
Because its not all the same colour so it travels up the paper and then you can see what the answer it :) I'm a high level student in science and ca answer and questions you ask me :)
You could try experimenting with chromatography.Cut strips of filter paper or paper napkinPut a dot of each ink a small ways in from the end of a stripPut that end (but not the dot of ink) into a liquid that may dilute at least some of the liquid in the ink: Suggestions : do different strips with water, alcohol, other solventsCompare the results after some time,The liquid solvent will carry different pigments different distances along the paper substrate and will most probably show differences for different inks.
Because the pigments found in the marker are sperated by capillary action. So basically all the different pigments found in that one maker are spread on the paper. :)
different dyes travel with different speed/rates on filter paper in paper chromatography as they have nothing to do with the filter paper as it is the stationary medium while the rates depends upon the interaction between the solute i.e., dyes and the mobile phase i.e., the solvent.
Oil can pass through filter paper. Also bear in mind that there are different grades of filter paper. I personally have filtered oil very successfully, using an ordinary paper towel as my filter paper.
they dye the paper using inks and pigments
Filter paper is more dense than usual paper so it can be used to trap particles in a filter. Tracing paper is thin and seethrough so it is easier to see what you are tracing.
This filter paper is not so important, you can use different types. An example is Whatman grade 2 filter paper; see the link below.
