} There is one thing you should know when you're going to try and print blend. I've tried to re create this effect on the monitor here, hopefully it'll come across. If you're going to print to like a low resolution printer, you're going to have some issues with the blend. It's not going to print out the way you like it most likely. Now if you are working with a high resolution printer, something say over 2400 dpi, you are going to be good to go when it comes to printing a blend. Now what happens is, if you work with a lower resolution device, you are going to get what is called Banding. Now, I have tried to replicate that here, on the left, and what you get are these bands of color, this kind of these rough steps between our black and our white. Now on the right, this is not completely smooth, but you get the idea. If you're working with a high resolution printer, you are going to have a smoother blend. Now some of the ways to avoid this problem of banding in printing is obviously to print at the highest resolution you can. You can try and avoid any blend that is over 6, 7 inches long or wide. That's where you seem to have a lot of problems in reproducing the blend. And what you can also do is try and increase the number of steps in your blend to smooth out those transitions between your blends.
