Default One Color - Image

I have this photograph... I have to print an image onto Black Shirt. I have plastisol Ink.

What do I need to do to make this work?

I have done it on a light blue shirt with the the one color right on to the shirt. But I can't use white because it looks like a negative.

Do I underlay it with White base First?

I know how to seperate the colors manually but You see I only need only one color....

Tell me how you would do this..

Thank you!!

You could convert the image to monochrome and possibly invert the colors. Or, you could just choose one of the CMYK channels and use that for your positive. Or, convert the image to grayscale and start removing/combining different shades of gray until you get an acceptable image.

Like mentioned before just invert the image and print a new film. Should work just fine
