Bringing A Transparent Grayscale Image into Illustrator

[El Negro Magnifico!]

Hey there.
I'm trying to bring my threshold-adapted pencil lines into an Illustrator file to be screened later. I'm a little worried about what looks like areas of gray that show up at certain magnification.



At 400%, they ain't there.


Am I worrying about nothing? Is there anything I can do to handle this better? Any help would be appreciated in a major way. Thanks.

What if you made your linework into a bmp (transparent background in AI) and then did the color underneath that?

Im pretty sure thats just screen resolution...if they arent there when its close up then they probably ain there. screen is 72 dpi print is 300 so images show up different yo

So save it as a bmp in Photoshop, then bring it into illustrator?

[matthewthirteen]

so it is basically a bmp? all B&W, no grey?
I didn't completely understand the question, if thats a case i'd go with preview error too

Thats what i do with all b&W stuff, keeps file sizes way down and you can have the vector colors behind it...I'd save it at like 600 dpi to keep it crisp.
