Printing on felt

Hey everyone!

I'm doing a project where I need to print on felt; most of it will probably be white ink printed on various colors. Does anyone have experience with this? Originally I was going to try this plastisol ink: http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/IC54D-16CQ BUT I'm trying to lower the toxicity of the whole product, so now I'm considering a water-based ink instead: http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/pr ... P301WHITEP. I'm mostly concerned about the ink seeping into/all the way through the felt if the ink is too thin. I have screens with 110 mesh, so I figured I'd use those (unless someone recommends otherwise).

Would love some feedback about ink recommendations for printing on felt!
