What would you do?

Is this something that you would mess with as far as screen printing?  It will be printed in black on gray shirts.  Do you think there would be too much black?  I know if I do I will be using at least a 255 mesh.  Opinions anyone?

  Yes I would do it, I would bump the mesh up some maybe 280 to hold all the detail and plus give it a softhand feel, should be able to hit it in one stroke but me I'd have to to do two LOL

I would do it but would probably do a 305 since I dont have any mesh counts between 230 and 305 lol

rock that out like the guys above said, go High on your mesh, you'll be good!! Hand drawn stuff makes the customer so happy to see printed on shirts.

I maybe would also tweak it a bit to make it a wee lighter to compensate for my gain.

If I was to do that, I'd use 2 screens, probably both 280; one with everything on it, and the second with just the darkest parts. Your grays will come out nicer, and your darkest areas get 2 hits (one from each screen) and you end up with an extended tonal range that one screen generally won't give you. It's an old trick I read about in an old Kodak book for printers... some call him "Duotone"...

I like prints like this with a dark grey & a black. High mesh on grey, 156 for the line work

It'd be one 305 for me.  I've been digging stochastic dots for stuff like this. 

Gotta be dialed in for gain, but you're home free after that...

I maybe would also tweak it a bit to make it a wee lighter to compensate for my gain.

Also I would put about 2% to 5% HD-clear to control dot-gain even more. 305/34 would be my mesh.
