Printing shades of 1 color

I know how to do the halftone gray for black and white, Same for CMYK, but how would i do that for just shades of orange? I have orange plastisol Ink, and the picture I want to do is just shades of orange. How would i go about doing that?

I'm printing on black and light gray shirt. I'm not sure what i should do. If i do the CMYK process, it would be like mixing the color to make shades of orange, but I already have orange plastisol. help please.

Just change it to gray scale, make that the areas you want completely orange are black. And the rest should be gray scale. And run it through your rip

would that cause a problem for black t-shirt? the area that's completely black will be orange, but the lighter orange will become darker orange instead due to the background of the halftone being black right? I've never printed shades on black before.
You need to make an underbase for the dark shirts. Basically you want to print orange but different shades, for me to achieve this i would gray scale the image so i burn this to a screen with halftones. The light gray should be easy.

You're saying i should make flash white under the orange before putting the halftone on it?

example, I'm trying to put


on



wouldn't doing halftone make the darker side on the right and full dot orange on the left? because the shirt is black.

This is a great question and I never really thought of this before..
I don't see being able to create that gradient even on a white shirt though as you are going from Orange to Yellow.
Do you have an image you're wanting to print? If so, post it.

For printing on Black you'd invert the image so it's right reading.
