    solvent inks (like Roland or Mimaki) are rated for 3+ years outdoors, are you talking offset inks?

    Some of the Durst machines use ink that lasts much longer than that outdoors.

    The Durst machine I mention has inks that are manufactured by Sun Chemical and sold only through Durst. I have personally tested them and other digital inks in an accelerated life testing chamber.
