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 :)
Having the solvent front near the top of the filter paper ensures that the separation process is efficient by allowing the components to be carried up the paper evenly. This helps prevent overlap of the separated components and ensures a clear resolution of the different compounds in the mixture.
In paper chromatography for separating leaf pigments, common solvents used include a mixture of organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, or petroleum ether, often combined with water. These solvents help dissolve the pigments, allowing them to travel at different rates along the chromatography paper based on their solubility and affinity for the paper. As the solvent moves up the paper, pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins separate into distinct bands.

To separate a mixture of pigments from an ink cartridge, you can use chromatography, a technique that exploits the different solubilities of the pigments. Start by dissolving the ink in a suitable solvent, then apply a small spot of the solution onto chromatography paper. When the paper is placed in a solvent (like water or alcohol), different pigments will travel at different rates, allowing them to be separated. After the solvent has moved up the paper, you can analyze the distinct spots corresponding to various pigments.
The pigment spot on chromatography paper should not be submerged in solvent because it will result in spreading and mixing of the pigments, making it difficult to distinguish them. Instead, the solvent should be allowed to slowly travel up the paper by capillary action, separating the pigments based on their solubility and mobility.
Büchner funnel, filter paper, flask or beaker.
you put ink on the bottom of the chromatography paper and dip one end of of it into water and leave it to stoke up the paper, separating the ink pigments
twist it up lick it and put the filter in.
