I only print a few times a year. I havent seen anything fade, but I do run the clean procedure a couple of times before I print again each time. I really need to set up an auto job that just prints a test page once a week to save ink on cleaning. But I still haven't had to buy more ink after a purchase over a year ago, even with all that cleaning I've had it do.
