id say start out in PS, and select a channel in your channels pallet and apply a halftone filter to that channel. then go back and apply the filter to another channel. you get better results doing it that way than just applying the filter to the entire image. if you use individual channels, you get sort of a pop art look.
after you are done (it doesnt matter what color mode you are using (duotone, cmyk, rgb) you can streamline each channel and voila! you got your 2 screens.
if you want to see how they should interact with transparency (depends on what sort of ink the printer will use really) you can just adjust it in the AI transparency pallet. so you can show him a hard copy of how it should work in addition to providing te screens he'll need.
im not sure if i expressed that as clearly as i should, but i tried. heheh.
anyway, good luck with it!
