Have you try to experiment with "inlet filters"? These filters are 
special very small filters used for medical and 
analytical/bio/organic chemistry. One may very easy attach this 
filter on beggining of tube in botle, so ink could be filtered. The 
only problem with pigmented inks is to find apropriate porosity of 
filters.
