Paul,

On one hand I'm happy that I'm not the only one but it looks like 
it happens much faster and less predictable.

Wednesday I got that green shift of the light toner for the first 
time in my 9000 but it has been idle for longer periods before 
and this time it was less than 4 days.

Is this pigment settling ?  I'm not so sure, looks more like they 
used two pigment hues and the magenta degrades in the mix.  One 
would expect a single hue pigment for a toner that has to last.
