I have a 4 color gradient fill angled at 40 degrees (maybe its not the best way to achieve what I want) and the lines where colors meet are having jaggies.
I have attached a screenshot of the gradient settings and the actual result. I would like to know if there is a way to make those edges smooth.
What you are seeing is typically due to Illustrator anti-aliasing for screen. Upon printing or saving for web that should get smoothed out.
This comes from the fact that Illustrator is creating vector data and then trying to render a preview in pixels for the screen. Sometimes artwork can look less-than-smooth. However, in most cases it prints/exports just fine.
Nothing wrong with the gradient, but I'm curious why you wouldn't simply use 4 shapes?
