I know I'll probably have to wash the screens between prints and take extra good care to not clog the screens but I'm pretty used to that since I mostly use water-based inks.

Every major commercial ink company has a discharge ink. Custom made or discharge additive ink needs heat to steam the additive so it wipes out the reactive dye in the shirt. You need lots of heat and excellent ventilation.
