Correcting Banding in Gradients

Banding issues in gradients  can be a problem in offset print and large format printing. We usually run into this issue when we’re printing large format for banner stands or offset printing for full colour brochures . The issue tends to be more prevalent when gradients are created in Illustrator  for output to large format printers.  Certain colour schemes also can be more prone to banding such as dark blue to light blue. If you’re creating gradients in Illustrator, Photoshop or Indesign you’ll need to make sure there are no banding issues before your artwork is output to final print.
