Why a drop of ink spreads on paper?
It has to do with the difference in affinity between the dyes that make up the ink or food coloring and the blotting paper compared to the solvent. This is paper chromatography. The dyes are carried along by the solvent (water) but is attracted to the substrate (the blotting paper). Some inks travel faster than others.

Why does blotting paper absorb ink?
Blotting paper is highly absorbent due to its porous structure, which allows it to draw in and hold liquids such as ink. As ink comes in contact with the blotting paper, its capillary action pulls the ink into its fibers, resulting in the ink being absorbed and transferred away from the surface it was on.
Why ink drop spread on blooting paper?
When an ink drop is placed on blotting paper, the paper absorbs the liquid due to its porous nature. The capillary action of the paper pulls the ink into its fibers, causing it to spread and create a larger, more diffuse shape. This spreading occurs because the ink is drawn along the paper's fibers by surface tension and absorbency.
Is blotting paper and end papers the same materials?

How do you separate pen ink from paper?
It is difficult to separate pen ink from paper without damaging the paper. One method is to try blotting the ink with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much as possible. You can also try using solvents like rubbing alcohol or acetone, but be cautious as they can cause the ink to spread or the paper to deteriorate.
