Why does my gradient have lines illustrator ?
Also, why do I see lines in gradient illustrator? If you are seeing gradations with steps on screen (rather than in print) it could be your display screen profile and calibration that’s causing the issue. However if they really are horizontal lines (across the paper width) then it’s likely a printer issue.
Frequent question, why are there lines in my gradient? This issue is called “color banding” and it happens when values within a gradient get pushed so much that there is no color/value in the file to actually represent the mathematical change you’ve applied with a tool in Photoshop. Basically, when this happens it means you are hitting the boundaries of your file.
