What you're saying is definitely the nature of mesh gradients. They're not "screen print" friendly. If I end up with one of these from a customer, I separate it in Photoshop.OK, I'm admittedly self taught at the graphics side, so I have to find my own shortcuts most of the time but I'm stumped on this one. I need to make a 3-color separation from an object that was sent to me with a gradient mesh in it. If I remove points from the mesh, it changes the halftone. If I just select the object itself, my color box shows up as having more than one color selected, and I can't just use the gradient toolbar. I need help! If I need to clarify more, send me a PM and I'll email you the file so you can see what I'm talking about.
OK, I understand...sort of. But like I said, I don't have any experience dealing with meshed objects. How do I assign spot colors to it?As long as the gradient mesh is composed of spot colors, it will output correctly. If it isn't, you'll need to go and stick in some spot colors. Otherwise, you can either sep the whole thing in Photoshop or just the gradient mesh part and place it back into Illustrator.
