Statement of the Problem

The said study aims to produce an ink from used motor oil and soot.
Objective of the Study
General Objective:
The said study aims to produce an ink from used motor
oil and soot.
Specific Objectives:
The study aims to answer the following questions:
1. What will be the degree of adsorption of each set-up
by determining the Retention Factor?
2. Will there be a significant difference on the grayscale
of the five set-ups through the differences of the amount of soot?
Scope and Limitation of the Study
METHODOLOGY
Acquisition of

RESULTS
Table 1. Color Quality of the Printouts in Replicate 1.
Table 1 shows the grayscale of the different set-ups. It
clearly shows that considering the amounts of soot in each set-up, still it
obtained the same value of grayscale.

Table 3 shows the retention factor values of the five inks as result to the paper
chromatography. All of the values of the distance of solute were zero, so were
the retention factors. This means that the inks are greatly adsorbed by the
filter papers.
CONCLUSIONS
In the Grayscale and Value Finder
TM
all of the set-ups have the
same grayscale values of one. This means that all of the printouts in
the different set-ups produced the same grayscales and without
considering the amount of soot in each set-up, still it produced a black
printout.
The Rf values of the five setups are all zero which means that
the inks have a very good adsorption quality.
The Analysis of Variance showed that there is no significant
difference between the means of the five groups. The null hypothesis
was accepted which means that there is no significant difference
between the means of the five groups. Thus, there is no significant
difference on the amount of soot on each set-up on the grayscale of
the printouts that they will produce.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The researcher would like to recommend for
the future researcher to continue my study to try
different brands of printers not only Canon iP1900
series. This will strengthen the fact that the
prepared ink that we made was not only
applicable to only one brand of printer but on a
wider range of quality printers available in the
country.
