Default Right ink for Poly/Cotton/Rayon blend?

I'm new to the screen printing industry, been doing it about two years now.

I have never printed on a 50% poly 25% cotton 25% rayon blend. They are a dark blue fabric with light yellow and light grey print. I am looking for a very soft hand feel & vintage look.

I have heard of dye migration when printing on Poly, not sure if this also happens on Rayon too?

I was thinking about using
A water-based ink but I am not sure about adhesion and durability?
or
A low bleed HP plastisol with some soft hand reducer or would a curable reducer perform better?
or
Should I invest in some Poly specific ink?

Thanks
Ryan
