Silkscreen ink for fused glass

Was wondering what everyone uses to print images on glass using silkscreening? It can be either before fusing or post fusing whichever one works best. Any thoughts? Also is there a definitive formula for the amount of oil per glass powder ratio that works best for screenprinting? You guys are the best thanks!!

We use Sunshine Enamels. We prefer to mix with A-14, which cleans up with water, rather than squeegee or any other oil. The exact ratio depends on the enamel you are using, we generally mix by feel, rather than by measuring.
Disclaimer: we sell Sunshine Enamels, mainly because we found them the best of all we tested:
