    I've always used primes & multiple steps. Also, use more than just C, M, Y or K in your color and adjust then each slightly differently during the fade; say lightening the Y a bit faster than the C on a green, or vice versa.

    for example:
    C: 89% > 61% > 37% > 3%
    Y: 87% > 59% > 31% > 2%

    Then just the sliders inside each gradient to get your desired effect, i sometimes add a K on top (or below) of this as well. if you can , make the distance the gradient is traveling a prime too. So, instead of a 10 inch mask for the gradient, make it 251mm

    it may be neurotic, but recently even though some monitors showed banding on the artwork, when it came from the printer, transitions were smooth as silk (even the drop shadow i had to put under the logo) :(
