This is being repeated so many times, despite the facts, an agenda
becomes highly suspected. This is a reaction to paper 
coating.
Period.
This has been acknowledged by the ink manufacturers themselves, other
experts like C. D. Tobie, and many users 
conducting tests on a wide variety of coated and uncoated papers.
Whatever alleged green component may exist is not fading away. All
carbon pigment mono inksets in common use react to 
the popular coatings in this way (including EAM, the main paper
apparently used in these tests), they become redder, some 
faster than others, particularly in the lighter inks.
Sorry for the tone, I'm not feeling particularly patient these days.
