Have created an image that uses a lot of gradients. It looks fine on the screen but when I print the .ai file directly,
the gradients break up into a series of bands. I assumed at first that this was due to the limited gamut in the
printers (tried both ink-jet and lazer colour printers). But if I export it as a .bmp file and then print that – there
is no banding and I get nice smooth gradients. Any sugestions as to what is causing this and/or how I can improve the
print from the .ai file?
