John,
That's just what I use: regulard Speedball acrylic poster ink. The kind for paper. 

The trick is that I finalize the panels with seven layers of fine matte spray to keep the ink from scratchin off. Panels like Rogers are cured in a factory setting with special ink and a heat process.

My system bypasses that for several reasons, and works just fine.

I use Westar services to make my silkscreen, which you can, too.

And no, I don't want to screen any more panels! ;)

Thanks for all the info. I wish we could find out what the "special 
ink" was, too, though!

I know that screening is not a fun process, nor is it particularly 
cheap, but it remains one of the better options.

Cheers,
John
