SCREENS:
Due to limitations in our plate making process, any screens less than 25% appear as 0% and screens over 85% appear as 100%. Please do not use screens that are less than 25% or more than 85%.

Despite the limitations mentioned with screens, you can continue using 0% to 100% for the gradients, and we will try and compensate for them.
