Fading

I printed a sign for my farm market about six weeks ago, an outdoor sign
printed on light blue cardstock with aftermarket pigmented black ink.
That sign has been exposed to the elements during those six weeks,
through bright sunshine and heavy rain, and the sign has faded something
awful. Oh, not the ink - that's as dark as the day I printed the sign.
No, the light blue cardstock is now a slightly off-white...

You really haven't learned have you?
Never, ever use non OEM cardstock.
The inks are fine of course.
