One-Color Gradient

To create a gradient using only one spot color, you'll get better printing results if you create a gradient that goes from 100% to 0% of the same color (rather than using white as the second color). Just drag your spot color twice to the Gradient Slider in the Gradient palette (found under the Window menu), then select the second color stop, go to the Color palette, and change its percentage to zero in the Tint Percentage field.
