Enlargement loses Colors

Cant quite find the correct reason why.

I created a graphic where there is some purple showing through green etc in a circle
This file looks great at a size of 120px by 120 px

If I select all of the layers and drag it out to 1/2 A4 page, it looses gradient looking colors etc

Is there another way I should be increasing the size of a full AI project instead of Dragging it by the corners?

Here is a sample

Smaller pic has more purple showing thru especially on bottom edge.

Thanks in advance

Double-click the Scale tool in the toolbar to look at its settings. Under the Options area, make sure Scale Strokes & Effects is enabled. Without that enabled, effects - such as feather - will retain the same appearance whether you have a small or large circle. Scale Strokes & Effects, when enabled, resizes the effect in proportion to the shape.

Wow thanks pointsandpaths. Yes the Scale tool seemed to make the image keep its proportions.
Will print it and see if it has the correct effect.

Thanks Heaps

Yes printing also is the effect I was looking for.

Thankyou all for your input.
Lessons learnt.

How did you make the gradient?

Not sure if there is a gradient on the green area of just on the purple area.
MMM now you got me thinking back..

I selected the item and use the FX / Stylise and feather

Then just enlarge the radius in the effect.
