For the colors that do not discharge well, one good method to achieving soft hand and good whiteness is to discharge a "soft" white (not opaque).  Then overprint with a standard waterbase white (or plastisol through fine 280+ mesh).  For Magna, the "soft" white would be the Blending White.

The attached photo shows a neutral discharge compared to blending white on a hard to discharge colorway.
