a process called chromatography. you put some ink on spetial paper on a line dip it in water just below the line. the ink should then seperate.
It is not hard to maintain them but in long run if you think about it let say if you have all the color separate and black, then it would be easier to just change the cartridge which is out to ink than buy new ones over and over in order to print color.
To separate dye into blue ink, you would need to use a process called chromatography. This involves dissolving the ink in a solvent and allowing it to separate based on the different properties of the dye molecules. The blue dye will travel at different rates along the chromatography paper, allowing you to isolate it as a distinct color.
Rubbing alcohol is a solvent that can break down the components of ink, causing it to separate. The alcohol disrupts the ink's bonding and disperses its pigments, leading to the ink losing its color and forming a visible separation.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to separate the primary colors from purple ink because purple is a secondary color made by combining primary colors (blue and red). Once the ink is mixed to create purple, you cannot easily extract the primary colors from it.

Print quantity is also determined by a number of factors. You can adjust the print settings to black and white, color, good, fair, or great quality and all of these will determine how much use you will get out of a single cartridge of ink.
You can use the filter paper or chromatography paper to separate the different components in black ink.
