A page that paints a gradient as a row of abutting one-colour strips (as Level 2 writers draw smooth shades) imported as hundreds of separate fills. Each anti-aliased on its own, they left seams where the art below showed through every shared edge (PDF 32000-1 §10.6.4, conflation): thin stripes, and a pale tint over strips a pixel or two wide. An Illustrator EPS whose page drew its gradients that way then differed from its layers and opened as its page with empty layers. A run of at least six such strips under the same clips, side by side in one direction with no gap, each a small colour step from the last, now becomes one object filled with a linear gradient through the strips' colours (stops on a straight colour ramp dropped), and the clip path itself when it was the clip's only art. Abutting blocks of distinct colours stay apart.
