I just got turned on to this method of printing photographs using silk screens. Its CMYK color halftones, aka the little dot methods that you see in newspapers and old comic books. CMYK stands for the four layers of color that combine to create the finished picture: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.
This is a print of a photo I took of my favorite stencil of Banksy's work in New Orleans. Here's how it breaks down. Note that the actual print is not as pixelated and patchy as this scanner made it out to be.
Cyan & Yellow
Magenta & Cyan
Yellow & Magenta
Black, the last layer on top
