Thanks! I don't use the color halftones option if that's what you normally use. I convert grayscale images to bitmap that is 2 to 3 times the resolution of the original. Then it's back again to a grayscale half or a third of the bitmap size.
The halftones are best kept below 40lpi (t-shirt quality). I keep my value range above 12% for the lightest grays and make my images contrasty and lighter in the midtones than would be suitable for a normal photographic image. If there's a really important but smaller detail that is falling between 80% and 100% grayscale, then I move the midtone slider on levels or correct the curves to cause more contrast and ranges between the lightest and darkest grays. Otherwise you will lose the image in the coarse dots/lines/diamonds (or whatever).
Everything is in layers, so cross hatching of line halftones would be at least two. This is probably less efficient than a new school solution, but it is what works for me. Hope that helps.
