>How many ml of water for one spore print?
Assuming you're using the entire print, as you've stated, I would recommend about 80ml of water. This estimate is based on a print the size of a half dollar, using 1/8 of the print per 10cc syringe. I do no recommend using an entire print however unless that print is the size of a dime or you're inoculating 80+ jars.
>How can I put spore in water without contamination?
Easy, boil some water for 3 minutes. Place the water into Tupperware type bowl and cover to cool. In a glove box, scrape the spores into the boil and mix well to break up any clumps. Stirring often, since you're using an entire print, aspirate your spores into however many syringes you're using. Allow the syringes to sit for up to 24 hours and use.
There are many methods out there, so find out which one works for you and go for it.

an 1/8" by 1/8" square from a spore print will make up one syringe.
so your answer is dependent on how dark and how large your spore print is.

My spore print is 3cm (I think about the size of a half dollar) and It's very dark. Someone can suggest me where can I buy a glove box? I’ve seen some on the web but they are very expensive!!!

Wal-mart....
Make one out of a large clear tote and make some arm holes. The idea is to archive still air... Until the day contaminates grow legs you will be fine.

I found this video, it doesnt tell you how to make it, but from that you can easily figure out, using a plastic box and cutting hols out for arm.
It can be done with a cardboard box too

Yes... that's what I did as well. Works great. You can even get fancy and add some PVC pipe to the holes so they extend out, making it even more "still air", though from experience not totally necessary. Wearing Tyvek wrist sleeves when using the box are nice as well. Check out some of the RR videos. I've learned A LOT! On my 3rd grow from prints I took myself and no have had GREAT success so far!!
