Best Answer

Any form of chromatography could be used to separate liquid ink.

Thin Layer Chromatography would be the simplest method:-

  1. Put a dot of the black ink around 1/4 of the way up a piece of filter paper.
  2. Place the filter paper in a buffer solution (usually a mixture of methanol and cyclohexane), but don't submerge the dot of ink.
  3. Wait for the buffer solution to get most of the way up the filter paper via absorption
  4. The black ink should have separated into several different colours that have moved different distances up the filter paper.
