It's a peculiar workflow and I'm missing a lot of the Ps lingo to describe it I fear but you have hit it almost on the head. The color of the half tone will always be just the same color as the layer it is part of as these images are from a fixed number of layers and each of these layers can be any color. So forget the color halftone method I'm not using this and do not want to use this though it's been an education as I didn't know that was how they worked.

  I'm not looking to take an image and then use halftone or even screen printing for that matter as a way of recreating it. I'm looking for a way to set up a Ps project in such a way that it mimics a screen print, (layers of single color ink stacked, where each layer is black/white alpha only and the number of layers, color of the layers and opacity of the layers are all adjustable). So that I can then work within it as an environment to see what kind of images this medium can create.

  One of the things I had gotten into the habit of doing was using halftone is such a way that I would sketch in it using the gray scale and was looking for a brush or eraser that linked pressure with the size of the dots in the halftone.

Unfortunately one of the problems I have is being stranded with this 2011 Macbook that cant run Krita and there being very little internet so I cant upload a video of the brush as explanation or get to any examples of the work.

Maybe I can get Krita to run long enough to do a simple sketch in the brush and upload that later.
