Just got in Virus Optimoon, an HSA white that can supposedly be overprinted with plastisol.I don't see too many benefits to doing so but we'll see.

Curing time is critical, in my opinion it is better to use 3% of Universal fix in the optimoon.
You can try to print WB colors down first, then print the discharge base on top. Works pretty well, you only have to activate on ink in this case. Agree with all that willy35 says, use the fixer. The hand is great. You can also use most WB bleed blockers under plastisol as well. This will help a lot with matting the fibers down and give you a much thinner print. HSA on top of discharge works very well as well. Cure time is very important will all WB inks, normally much more time in the oven than plastisol.
We print HSA on DC UB, it's kind of the only way to fly with HSA as it doesn't add the cost of a second UB screen to the job. No WB on top of DC here.
