Designjet printing on plastic bags Dye vs Aqueous printers?

[reckless]

Trying to print on this type of bag. I have a Designjet 800 but not sure if I need to buy a T210 Dye/Solvent based solution:

I'm really no expert on this but I'm pretty sure you want a printer with solvent based inks to print on plastics. Hopefully someone knows more.

I doubt HP's Vivera inks would work either.

I checked the old swatchbook, the dj 800 seems to print on some plastics, pvc and tyvec matterials, but if i recall correctly the prints are really faded as the printes uses almost no ink when printing on them. That being said the 800 oem ink is not water or uv proof.
