    Not exactly the same, but try this:

    (Bump up the resolution for best results)

    Make your artwork a mask on a black layer, so that the image goes from black to transparent.

    Set that layer's blend mode to Dissolve, and lower the opacity down to like 10% so there are a lot of gaps between the dots.

    Now go to channels and ctrl click the RGB channel to select its transparency. (assuming a white background).

    Make that selection a mask on another black layer, and apply a black stroke effect to the layer. Now you can adjust the stroke width to control the dot size.

    Would be nice if you could automate the first part to adjust density, but I can't think how.
