Re: Halftones
short answer: yes
long answer: i do not believe the half tones will develop to their full potential. you will probably have some that come out clean, some that are crappy, and some that dont expose at all. Typical work lights do not have the light spectrum needed to really cure the emulsion and get fine details.
the distance from the screen will have an impact. you are going to need to play around with that to get the proper distance for exposures. also, when you say 2 500 watts, if they are mounted seperately, you could have a problem with some areas over exposing and others under exposing. I've read several postings with people having just this type of problem so be aware if it comes about.
once you have it all setup, you will need to do a Step Wedge test to get a good accurate calculation of your exposure time. your ink supplier should have the required components for this test.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
