General Gradation
Whilst Free Marking allows you to have a very slight gradation on the body, Dual tone allows this gradation to become more visibly on the body.
The gradation can go any direction with Dual Tone.
The gradation can start at any point of the body, however it can not start from the middle of the body and go outwards.
​
X Do Not Do
Dual tone should not have any holes or gaps in the marking.
Dual tone should not have 'sections'. All of the gradation should be connected.

Markings Dual Tone can Affect

Here is a list of markings that Dual Tone can affect.
How it affects the markings is written within each of the guides.

If the marking is not stated here, Dual Tone can not affect that marking!
