dotCooCoo 3a6b016253 Blend: steps between gradients linked to the same spot swatch keep its process plates
A blend between two gradients whose matching stops are tints of one spot
swatch kept the link and interpolated the tint, but every step's stop lost
the process inks (C, M, Y, K) printed with the spot ink, so PDF export wrote
the steps as the spot ink alone.

- Matching stops linked to one swatch interpolate each process ink with the
  tint; a stop without process inks counts as none of each, and the ends
  keep their own.
- Gradients with different stop counts keep the inks at every resampled
  stop, interpolated with the midpoint-adjusted fraction between two stops
  of one swatch.
- A solid blended with a gradient brings no process inks of its own: its
  stand-in gradient no longer copies the other gradient's.

Stops of different swatches, or linked and unlinked stops, still blend into
unlinked process colors without plates.
