How to make Squids spawn in Superflat worlds
Squids need water to spawn. Water can be found on the Wheat farms in NPC villages and can be collected with Buckets, which first have to be crafted with Iron Ingots found in chests or collected from killed Iron Golems and/or Zombies. Not quite a big job. But Squids will only spawn if that water is located between Layer 45 and 62, and the ground level of Superflat worlds is Layer 4. So you'll have to get the water up there. Here's how to do that:

1. Build a stairway or ladder up to somewhere between Layer 48 (shown as y=49.62 on the F3 screen) and 56 (shown as y=57.62 on the F3 screen).

2. When you're there, make a 1 block high platform at the same level of the top layer of your stairway or ladder. It can be of any size of 5x5 and above, but I'd recommend 9x9 to give the Squids enough space to spawn.

3. Build a 6 block high wall at the edges of the platform to make a "basin".

4. Fill the "basin" completely with water.

5. Leave the area and wait. Go up now and then to see if any Squids spawned. Have patience, as it might take some time. When the first Squids spawned, you can start your Ink Sac farm. ;)
