    "Try changing your monitor settings" ?? "Try cleaning the printheads" ??

    Some people didn't look at the link given - those suggestions wouldnt have any effect on a screenshot of the problem, unless the guy had litterally scanned a print-out / photographed the screen!) hence I said 'crazy suggestions' - they would be of no use, but no harm no fowl! Just found it funny!

    And how can you say "it has nothing to do with CMYK!" it could well be that! I know, you're right, you can get the same probelm in RGB, like, if you have overlaid imagery on your grad's or proccessing layers like levels or hue/sat - but in CMYK grad's can look really ropey as soon as you've drawn them, without any processing, because of the whole colour (yes, coloUr - i'm English, sorry) space issues mentioned by motivdesign. If that's the problem - the noise solution can help. If it's not that, it can still help. Since this is a print job - I think it was safe to assume it'd be CMYK and therefore, it's a common problem i've seen, and remedied in this way many times. Please don't shout me down! :(
