And Aardenburg did as well some testing referenced somewhere in those threads.
Based on lots of testing by forum members there is a wide range of UV performance from fast fading to very stable, you may group the inks into three sections - fast fading - pretty fast fading with lots of 3rd party inks and a small section of very stable inks - the genuine Epson Claria or Canon dye inks, Fujifilm DL inks or Epson Ultrachrome D6 ink which are available in bigger cartridges yielding a lower per litre price. And not just but rather close are inks like Inkthrift CL by Conecolor or Fotonic XG by Lyson.
