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.
If Red Litmus Paper Turns Blue, It's A Base. If Blue Litmus Paper Turns Red, It's An Acid.

Chromatography is the method used to separate a mixture of dyes or inks.
It is a glass funnel into which can be placed a circle of folded filter paper (so that it too is the shape of the funnel) liquids may then be poured into the funnel and while the liquids will drain through (to be collected at the base of the funnel), any solids will be retained on the paper.

Pigments are not carried up filter paper, dyes are. But they are carried up in solvents.
If you mix a dye with a colourless solvent (e.g. alcohol) and place a drip of it in the centre of a round piece of filter paper, the different dyes will "run" at different speeds and for different distances. You will be left with a series of concentric circles which are of different colours.
Dyes and inks are separated using a method called chromatography. Basically you put a dot of ink or the dye you to separate on a piece of chromatography paper and stand it up-right. The ink spot or dye will spread across the paper and separate into different colours.

You separate tie dyes by putting rubber bands or any type of elastic in the designated area to be dyed. This gives it the spiral effect.

Chromatography is the method used to separate a mixture of dyes or inks.
It is entirely dependent upon solubility. First, the individual dyes that make up the ink's final color must be soluble. Then, the dyes that are more soluble are able to stay dissolved in the water longer than those that are less soluble, therefore getting further up the paper.
Dyes of different colors in black ink can be separated using chromatographic techniques.
