It has to do with the difference in affinity between the dyes that make up the ink or food coloring and the blotting paper compared to the solvent. This is paper chromatography. The dyes are carried along by the solvent (water) but is attracted to the substrate (the blotting paper). Some inks travel faster than others.
A drop of ink spreads on paper due to a combination of capillary action and absorption. The paper fibers pull the ink in through capillary action, while the ink is absorbed and spreads out across the paper surface. This process creates the characteristic spreading pattern of ink drops on paper.
It spreads due to capillary action.
It is called ink bleed or ink spreading. When ink comes into contact with water, it can spread and create a blurred effect on paper.
Ink cannot be collected from a piece of paper once it has been applied. Ink is absorbed into the fibers of the paper or dries on the surface, making it difficult to remove without damaging the paper.
Blotting paper is highly absorbent due to its porous structure, which allows it to draw in and hold liquids such as ink. As ink comes in contact with the blotting paper, its capillary action pulls the ink into its fibers, resulting in the ink being absorbed and transferred away from the surface it was on.
It is difficult to separate pen ink from paper without damaging the paper. One method is to try blotting the ink with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much as possible. You can also try using solvents like rubbing alcohol or acetone, but be cautious as they can cause the ink to spread or the paper to deteriorate.
Ink stains on paper are difficult to remove without damaging the paper. Try blotting the stain with a cloth dampened in water or rubbing alcohol. Be gentle to avoid tearing the paper. If the stain persists, it may be best to consult a professional conservator.
may be because the paper isn't of good quality
Ink is spreaded faster.
Are you asking why ink spreads and paper doesn't when water is spilled on a page? Ink is water soluble so it dissolves and spreads. Paper is not water soluble (although it will get soggy) so it doesn't dissolve.
The reason a drop of ink will spread over blotting paper capillary action.
You should try it and see. Go to the kitchen, get a clear glass of water, and add a drop of food colouring to it. Or ink, if you have it. It's probably how quick the ink spreads through the water
A drop of hand sanitizer, rub with a paper towel or cloth.
Ink jet printing used small drop of ink to print onto paper. These dots are extremely small, and print in a dot matrix pattern on the paper. Different colors of ink are combined together to make photograph quality images.

One method to remove dry ink from paper is to gently scrape the surface of the paper with a sharp tool, such as a razor blade or knife, being careful not to tear the paper. Another method is to lightly dab the ink stain with a cotton ball or cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Test a small, inconspicuous area of the paper first to ensure the solvent does not damage it.
Ink. Just as a pen writes on a paper with ink, a pen contains ink to write or draw.
