    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…

    There was banding, but not to this extent. It is disturbing even in a smaller view of the image, it is clearly visible even without magnification, in the past it was only visible when zoomed in. I upload graphics to Microstock sites, so I paid attention to this. I use the same operating system, the monitor was changed to the right, but based on the screenshot, the same thing is visible on other devices. Windows updates and video card updates, which are constantly coming out.

    In an old Illustrator CS6 vector, the gradients became banded and fragmented when I opened them in the newer Illustrator. I layered the gradients with the screen blending mode. I used to have no problems with this vector file, but the problem appeared in my new Illustrator (29.1). What the problem could be?
