  Ink Dating by the Examination of Solvent of Ball Point Ink by UV-Vis Spectroscopy
  Author(s): Suryanshi Biswas*
  
  Background: When we talk about the age of documents, finding the age of ink on that document is the better option. Previously, many researches took place on various kind of inks and how to identify the age of that ink. It is called ink dating. Through this research we wanted to find out if we can perform ink dating with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy as it is cheaper than any other instrumentation techniques and all the current techniques are not enough to accurately predict the age of the documents, they can only approximately predict the age of the document. Most have many limitations and most of the technique are destructive in nature. We need more research and development to find a technique which can reduce error rate as well as cost. Current technique can only measure the age to wide range like 1000 years old-10 years old but these technique fails if we try to.. Read More»
