I would hope ABW isn't adding yellow unless you try for a warmer tone than the black inks. If it is I would definitely switch over to QTR since the yellow inks are the least stable.


​Aardenburg Imaging tests of, for example, HPR with Epson K3 in ABW mode "Warm" shows at 90 Mlux-hrs a 50% midtone test patch Lab B fade going from 3.0 to 1.8. That is almost certainly the yellow fading.

Stay with QTR for the best longevity and avoid yellow to the extent possible.
