depends on lpi, press and paper
Line screen: The frequency, or fineness of a halftone or screen, expressed in lines per inch (lpi). Coarse screens are used where dot gain is high, fine screens where highest quality is required. This is usually a function of the type of printing press and the paper specification. Common values are 85, 100, 120, 133 and 150 lpi.

Chances are, since it is a screen of a solid color, yes you will have dots. Depending on the amount you tone it down will determin the dots.
Usually it isn't to bad unless you go really light with text over it. Then you start to lose.
Job sounds interesting, is it? Can you post a sample?
=)

you are using 3 colors - a solid and a screen of each color?
or some sort of duo/tritone combinations?

Looks good. Lots of work.
I don't think you should have large issues with the dots. Everything seems to be tied in well.
Good luck!
