Hi all,

Could anyone help, I have a t shirt job that requires a box with a faded two colour diagonal half tone blue to light blue on a white shirt.

Default Re: Gradual/halftone print

Draw your shape and fill with one of the colors in the blend.

On the tool box select the interactive blend tool (G). Last tool on the bottom.
Select the top corner of the object, click and drag to the other corner. Where you see the white square click and add the second color.

If you use pms colors this will automatically separate in the print dialog

Thanks Fluid,

I will give it a go later, I can do fades in corel draw, will it print onto film as seperated dots ready for screenprint?

as long as you use PMS colors from one of the stock PMS palettes and you have a rip or postscript printer.
