Color print faded even after cleaning printhead

[rgj]

Several times I went through printhead cleaning and by the second or third round it prints the test page correctly. But soon after, a day or less, it starts printing faded again. It seems to be the magenta cartridge only now, but I’m not sure it was the case before. My ink comes from Hp, as I’m in the Instant Ink plan. The warranty for the printer expired last year. What could be happening? Should I replace the magenta ink, even though it’s not showing as empty yet?
