Best Answer

You could try experimenting with chromatography.

  1. Cut strips of filter paper or paper napkin
  2. Put a dot of each ink a small ways in from the end of a strip
  3. Put 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 solvents

  4. Compare 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.
