The analysis of inks and papers are of great interest to science and an understanding of the interaction between ink and paper is very important in mamy levels. The ink analysis from a document is extremely important to the study of several aspects such as adulteration and the age of the ink. These aspects could be studied by analysing the ink and paper both physically and chemically.The proposed equation has shown to be able to distinguish the relative age of the ballpoint ink with a variation of 20% from the theoretical value. Therefore, the main conclusion of this work is that the methodology proposed could be used to determine the relative age of a ballpoint ink pen.
