Default Fading inks

Hi everyone - I have been having major trouble with Ranger Archival inks fading badly in the strong NZ light - even though my cards are not in direct sunlight.

My question is: What are the inks that do not fade quickly?

I have some Altenew, Distress Oxides, Ranger Archival, Stazon and Memento inks. I design for a couple of companies and really need to find something that is fade resistant and easy to use particularly for flower making.

I think most dye inks are prone to fading. Are the archival inks a dye ink?

I believe Archival is fast drying pigment ink.
