Default light on darks

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times but i am trying to print light colors on dark surfaces using waterbased ink. should i just give up or is it possible to get professional results doing so. I have only tried aquabrite and one other brand from standard screen in manhattan. it just looks OK and doesn't cover well.

should i give up and use plastisol. i just hate the fumes feel that plastisol (and everything involved with using it) must be so bad for me.

so does anyone know anything about printing on dark surfaces with light waterbased ink?

ok so i read this thread Eco friendly screen printing
and now i'm convinced that waterbased is just as harmful if not more to my health than plastisol. hmmm....

Discharge is what we use on dark shirts using h2o based pigments.
