Personally I would not know who the discoverer of ink is but the issue is rather irrelevent when you think about it. The inventor of ink, whoever he might be, could not have been much of an innovator as cave drawings prove that man, long ago in prehistory, was able to find color by which to make an indeliable mark. How it came to become ink no doubt was a gradual progression.

The Chinese. They invented many things...gunpowder, pasta (yes pasta), fireworks, and ink.
An old civilization with a huge population is bound to invent many things.
