I've been struggling with an issue for a few weeks now, and I would appreciate any help I can get. I prepared a logo for a group at a local university (as a favor for a friend) using a a few layers with a quickmask technique. I'm running Photoshop 7.0 in Windows XP, and right now the file is sitting at 10"x10" at 300dpi. Here is a .jpg copy of the image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/baresoulsurfer/SemperFiLayerscopy.jpg

The problem I'm come up against is this: they want to get the logo printed on t-shirts, and my attempts to get this file to the printer aren't working. I'm not sure what to do to prep this image for screen printing, but the tips I'm getting from the printer aren't working. I don't think that the printer is very experienced, and I'm not sure that he really knows what he's talking about with the explanations. I realize that the problem with this particular graphic is the gradients in the image, but I'm not sure how to change them into halftone dots, which is what I've gathered I need to do. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

I've tried creating duotones, I've tried creating spot colors in the channels palette, I've tried pretty much everything I can find in online tutorials and help forums, but this isn't working.

If anyone can explain to me what to do in photoshop to make this work for the screen printer, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much!
