Abstract

A study of four different ballpoint pen inks was carried out using methods of HPLC and solid-phase micro extraction and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Inks of different ballpoint pen manufacturers-two blue ones and two purple ones were chosen for the research. Naturally aged ink samples on paper were stored under various conditions, and the comparative samples were exposed to aggressive influence of light, temperature and ozone. During the study of artificially and naturally aged samples differences in chemical composition of ink were identified-possible signs of accelerated ageing were detected in records and signatures that were made with blue and purple ballpoint pen inks.
