Yes, there are Bullseye compatible enamels. You can get a sample pack from Arrow Springs, I know, and probably other places.

You could also should check out www.warmglass.com and do a search on enamels - there are lots of different types that people use with the BE sheet glass that are mentioned over there.
I have heard that the thompson enamels that are supposed to be compatible are not as compatible as they claim.I think I posted a question recently about thompson enamels

I haven't tried any yet - I am trying to get some BE powders and use them enamel-like

I use the Bullseye powder the same way i use my Thompson enamels. I think the Thompson enamels are a little more intense in color. I keep the Bullseye powders to use with Bullseye glass. Thompson enamels i only use with Effetre glass.
