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! ;)
