I am fairly happy with my HP 2410 but after printing several pictures
they have noticeably progressively yellowed/faded while hanging on my
refrigerator over the past 1 month. I printed on Canon premium photo
paper so I wouldn't imagine that would be the problem. Anyone else
with a similar experience?

Manufacturers typically tune their inks and media to work well together. The
best results for this printer will probably be had with HP Premium Plus Photo
Paper, Glossy. See Henry Wilhelm's site for fade data for various printer and
paper combinations: http://www.wilhelm-research.com. The PSC 2410 uses the
#56, 57 and optionally 58 cartridges the same as the DeskJet 5550. The
following has data specifically for the DeskJet 5550:

The issue is because you are not using HP paper. MAnufacturers tune
their inks and paper to each other. If you use genuine HP paper (HP
Premium Plus will probably give you the best) with the 56. 57 and 58
cartridges you should get no perceptible change in colour for years.
Last time I heard HP was gaurenteeing up to 70 years fade resistence
with that combination of ink and paper. Though whetehr you'll be around
to get a refund is a different matter!
