Could any one give me suggestions on how to print this on a dark or black shirt?

I am assuming some sort of gradient technique, of which I am not familar.

Thanks!

I look like a two color job, Orange and White. I don't use PS so I cant help with the gradent part.

I would think 3 colors.

White, Purple (upper sky), orange (lower sky) with black shirt underneath.

No idea what technique to use, what oder to print, how to separate colors, screens, etc.

Wet on wet?

I see 3 colors as well...white base with orange and purple-ish on top.

You need to convert your orange/purple to halftones in photoshop. Search for 'creating halftones in photoshop' or something like that for step-by-step.

You will run in to problems using halftones with 110 mesh though...you're lpi will have to be around 20 which makes for some pretty large dots.

Get a 230 mesh or higher for a smooth gradiation. Hope this helps!
