My Boxes fade can anyone give me some advice?

[stevieboy1]

Hi all I love these boxes and make them for a lot of my games but the last ones i made have all faded very badly within a few months They are not in sunlight as my room has no windows and i want to re make them but dont want to spend hours re making them if they will fade so quickly again. Can anyone advise me on what i can do to stop them fading so quickly?
could it be the ink used in the printer? I have an epson xp 205 printer, can i spray them after printing with the fixative spray stuff to help?

I realy just need some advice on the best way forward. How do you all print yours and combate the fading issue?
Thank you and hope someone can help me.
best wishes
Steve

You can apply a matte or glossy varnish over the paint, this helps to protect it and even enhances the colors.
I apply three thin layers with an interval of 10 minutes between them and the result is amazing after drying.
