AnswerSince you placed your question in the Biology category, perhaps a type of microbiological stain is your target.

This particular plant was studied for just that use. See the link below for the abstract & publication information.

A possible resource may also be: Evan's site. See link below. The site is focused on traditional inks. Recipes, ink history and a discussion about inks in general can all be found there.

A warning for all wishing to try their hand at ink making:

Ink is very similar to dye, but more concentrated. It is a fairly complicated subject. Especially depending on the use you are wishing to use it for.

Also some danger can be involved, as dye sources are usually concentrated somehow, thus fumes(even steam) can be fatal. Be careful - be smart and only work outdoors. Wear heavy rubber gloves & wear eye protection.
