Anton:
I agree with Helmut Winkler in that I don't see any close relation of the dialect to Dutch. I searched for the form "das Wang" in Google Books, and all the instances I found are from Bavaria or Austria.

Do you have any idea why the "tintten" is "einer" and not simply "tintten"?Not really, but it sounds more like he means a specially made ink, not just any ink. At least that's what I would interpret this as in modern German, I don't know if this would have been true in the 15th century.
