Printed gradient not satisfying

[Reartu]

Hi

When I try to print a cmyk gradient the result is pointed by the same issue.

In the transaction between sky blue and orange, it light up the white.

Here it is

How can I delete the white range in the middle?

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Create additional gradient stops that have the color you want there.

As Monika said already, this isn't a matter of deleting something, but ratehr adding more gradient stops.

What color can I match there?

Gradiente tones are 85c to 60m90y

Thanks

Just try it out until you like it.

Insert a relatively bright yellow on the orange side and a second stop on the azure side containing a very pale blue with lots of white. This will keep the colors brilliant.

Mmmm..I'm not satisfyied.

I tryed to put vary tones in yellow/magent and bright cyan, but it appears white/green/violet colors.

It seams to be a mixed white gradient between the two colors, and this is the issue.

There's no way to fix it?

There is a third party extension that makes better gradients. Or maybe it's a script? Sorry, I can't remember. So basically it emulates the way Photoshop does gradients. So what you could do is try and recrate the gradient in Photoshop and then maybe pick colors from it?

There it is. But not free: https://sergosokin.gumroad.com/l/gradientblender

You might try creating a Blend using the two start colors.  Just another option.  But, the suggestions already mentioned should work.

Thanks for the answers.

I'm trying the script and it quite fix the issue.

In the gradients with no black colors, it remain the clear stripe between the two tones.

And it's not a good shape for a printing service.

Sometime I got customers that highlight me the bad result of the transiction.

With black color, there's no problem, it is fixed by the multiply tansparent option.
