I am trying to make armory blueprints in the architect's study but the dwarves wont make them. I keep getting messages about how Urist McArchitect canceled drawing the blueprints to the armory because he doesn't have an ink-containing item. How do you make ink? I read on the masterwork wiki that it is made in the craftsdwarf's workshop but I have 2 such workshops with 5 ink making jobs queued (from the j-m menu) and nobody is making it. I made ash for the black ink, so I don't think there should be a problem there. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Do you have any jugs?

[TheSponge]

Yes, I have 20 jugs.

its not a craft, a dyer makes it

Turns out ink is made in the Scriptorium. On the wiki it says it is made in the craftsdwarf's workshop. I am using Masterwork v3a3 and not the latest v4 though, so it might have changed.

[oldark]

Yep. I can verify that its in the craftdwarf workshop in versions g and h at least.

For some reason, I can't make ink out of colored dye despite having turned plenty of dimple cups into dye powder (well, 22 units)

I do have the jugs and can actually make ink out of graphite or ash though.

Is your dye in a bag in a barrel? If so, it is invisible as a reagent. DF only checks the contents of a container, it does not recursively check all containers inside a container. So anything in a bag in a barrel is unusable. Don't use barrels to store dye.
