Do you need Overprint?

Can you set the gradient to Darken blend mode instead of Overprint?

It's normal blend.  This preview appear when I use overprint preview.

I t has to do with the way the gradient is set up.

At the right most colorstop position, there are actually 2 stops on top of each other. If the black one is removed, it looks as expected.

Can you show your full Illustrator workspace with the object selected and the gradient panel visible?

What's in the file? Just the gradient?

Which colors are in it?

Can you share a demo file?
