Great question! Benefits include; longer shelf life, ink will not dry on screen, and it's easier to learn with!

To go a little further, since It needs to reach about 300 to cure and fuse together,
you can leave your screen with ink in it with no worries. Solvent based and water based inks can dry.
Disadvantages can be a heavier hand (feel) and since its entire film must reach cure temp it's harder for hobby level folks to come up with something cheap, small, and consistent to do the deed.
