I've never seen a green print thus far. I've tried several papers and even with EAM, there is no green. In fact, I've only had one real clog on my 1160 which was cleared after two nozzle cleanings. Maybe I'm just lucky? The prints of Paul's look like mine - brownish.

  Do most of you who saw all three of paul's images on his website think
  the piezo print is green?  This print almost exactly matches my piezo
  prints on most papers, in daylight. If there is green in it, it must be
  a very small amount, as I see mostly brown. If you are using the
  uncoated Somerset velvet paper, the images are quite a bit more neutral
  than on most any coated paper. I did see a print from Inkjet mall when I
  first began using piezo. It was not a good print. Very flat, muddy,
  olive green and very weak black. Not an acceptable print for a
  photographer, but it had no dots, and that's why I bought into the piezo
  system.  I thought I could find a paper that would be more neutral. I
  could never get rid of the brown tones, and don't like them, so have
  left piezo printing in favor of the MIS inks and Paul's curves. No green
  or brown prints Here!
