Bordeaux guarantees at least 2 years outdoor durability without lamination at zone 1. This durability matches the guarantee provided by other OEM ink providers.

Extended print life and fade resistance are one of the biggest benefits of using Bordeaux inks. There are many factors related to how a print will hold up to fading and weathering. One key factor is lamination, which will protect prints from rain, wind and snow (including scrubbing and washing in the case of vehicle graphics). Inks will also interact with the media onto which they are printed causing variability in fading. The climate and latitude is a very key factor. Arizona and Florida are frequently listed as worst case situations because of the amount of sunlight (visible and UV light), which occurs in these, or similar regions. Also, signs facing north will fade less than signs facing south.

The printer should be maintained according to the directions specified in the OEM Owners Manual. In order to carry out these steps, the end user should purchase a Bordeaux cleaning kit purchased from the OEM dealer.

The end user is asked to submit a nozzle test print (prior to putting in the Bordeaux inks) to Bordeaux that will establish the condition of the printer. Please indicate the printer model version on the print.
