Depends on the ink. Some are effected more than others. We currently have an issue with the UV light from a finishing lacquer process bleaching the magenta ink giving the final print a green tint! Not idea...

We are looking at changing the ink supply as this didn't effect the ink we used previously. There is not much else you can do.
