Jerry,
The only referrences to greenish prints were with the Piezo inks but
it occured on several different papers. Unless someone has seen this
with one of the other ink sets, I believe this is a Piezo only issue
and not limited to any one paper. I don't know if it is showing up
more on EAM because of something is wrong with EAM or because lots of
people use EAM.
No observed fading at my place. The Piezo inks on EAM do warm up a
bit but the effect is nice.
