Went into Art Mad today looking for oil based printing ink.They didnt have it but the man working there used to be a technician in the print dept. he said it wasnt the ink that was the problem it was lack of pressure. He said oil paints or water based inks, though not as good as oil based would do the job if enough pressure was applied , so I went home and tried it. it works ok also found i could applie water based inks over oil paints, with interesting results. He also said I could use much thinner acetate so I bought some, havent tried it yet
