A simple Halftone print will do the job if this will be a one color print preserving the fade effects of your art,,, now it will only depend on how you will assign your dot frequency... (The smaller the dots the better the image).

The easiest way to describe halftones is the dots you see on a photo in a newsprint. I screen printing we use this similar pattern dot and can be ajusted in size.
