    Hahaha - some crazy suggestions.

    It's because you're in CMYK (right.... you ARE in CMYK yeah?)

    And as someone said, yeah, it's the colour space thing. Gausian blurring will make no difference.

    The trick is, to add a layer of 'noise' (static) on a layer above, set it to softlight and knock its opacity down low, maybe 5 - 10, dunno, experiment. This breaks the bands a little and makes the gradation more organic. Use with caution - dont have the opacity too high or you may see the 'noise'.... oh and obviously use 300 dpi.

    It's worked for me before.
