There was a period a couple of years ago when a number of people on the 
Piezo 3000 site were complaining about the
"greenies" from the CIS cartridges especially. It took a long time to 
find out, but it seems that the solvents in the inks were
reacting with the plastic in the cartridges and/or the sponges. This 
happened after the inks were in contact for quite a while,
but I can't remember how long, even though it eventually happened to 
me, as well.

The cure, in that case turned out to be a re-formulation of the plastic 
cartridges (not the ink), to one that would not react in such
a manner. Some of you on this list must remember this. Tyler - didn't 
you get some green prints back then?
Perhaps something similar is happening here.
