I'm planning on converting an epson printer into a
dedicated silkscreener. (Basically, it's a
piezoelectric print head, and a heater for the circuit
board to help the ink distribute.)

Instead of using factory ink, try using heat-curing
ink in the print heads - simply replace RGB
w/whatever, and print "red", "blue", "green" to use
whatever is in the slot. Basically, just get the board
warm/hot, print on it, then heat to "cure" the board.
