Your last article looks interesting. However, the ink they tested is carbon based (Egyptians used a burning process to make ink, resulting in a carbon called "lamp black"). European ink like the one used for the VM rely on oxidizing iron particles for their blackness. Therefore I suspect this method could not be applied to the VM.
