I have a new customer the boss is very paranoid about for some reason. The cover of their brochure is a yellow-green gradient at an angle. It's created in ID, and uses two swatches CMYK at an odd angle. I told him that since we don't use a curve here and plate everything linear it won't band, but he insists it will band, and wants to make sure we don't have to re-plate later. Now I'm recreating in PS, but he's got me so rattled I'm not sure how much noise to add. Does anyone have a "fallback standard," they use?

just enough to soften or break it up, but not enough to show the noise.

I went with 2.5%. Did the trick.

Plating using FM screening (Chrystal raster, Stacatto, etc...) if you have the option can help avoid the Noid too... sometimes there can be 1 optical break where a color like cyan hits 50% with conventional screening.
