   Dithered gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.

   Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.

   Read more about it in this help article.

   As stated there, important notes are:

   • Dithered gradients follow the resolution set in Document Raster Effect Settings. In fact, this dithering is a raster-based effect, same as Gaussian Blur. It should stay live as long as you keep Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option enabled (be mindful of this when you save your work in a PDF).
   • Dither at the moment works only with gradient fills, not strokes
   • Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support Dither — PDF format know nothing about dithered gradients as a concept, it’s something only Ai does

   Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, similar to how it happens with perceptual gradients, as reported here.

   Please test it and comment back — this will help to improve this further.

   Hi me and my team are having some problems with the gradients in illustrator.
   When we try to make a simple gradient it seems like it was mad in steps and not clean and smooth as it used to be. Anyone is having the same problem or now how to fix it? P.S. I leave you a screenshot so u can understand the source of the problem.
