Martin Luther Throwing Ink at the Devil

I've heard Dr. Tong mentioned that Luther had thrown ink to the fake emanation of Christ on the cross, saying "I want the victoriously resurrected Christ, not the dead christ on the cross".

I have yet found anything source for this. Although, Luther is popularly known to have thrown inkwell at the devil during his time at Wartburg Castle to rid the distraction from the devil as Luther was working on Bible translation.

    Dr. Erwin Lutzer, on Janet Mefferd Podcast (10/31/2017 - last 8 mins of the show) mentioned of this inkwell incident:
    In his Tabletalk, Luther said "I fought the devil with ink". Might not be referring to throwing inkwell at the devil, as many have perceived. Dr. Lutzer: "He meant that 'I fought the devil by the translation of scripture', in 11 weeks he translated the entire Greek NT into German."
