Well I'm the witness, and they were my prints!
A 4x5 Polaroid 55 neg(not an xray) printed on Royal plush with the Piezo inks 
on a 3000 and a second MIS hextone standard except I'm using a VM  black 
piezo clone Loaded in a 7000.
Side by side in daylight the MIS print is greenish compared to the Neutral 
Piezo print. I was a little shocked but I guess I don't view my prints in 
daylight much. Indoors the tint is very close, with piezo still closer to 
neutral. These are 10 day old prints. Lots of variety of light out there, and 
opinions. On there own they are nice black and white prints.
On a brighter based paper Like Eclipse Velvet MIS is very neutral compared to 
the Plush/Orwell print. 
Summary! The green is all relative to what your comparing it to. Papers like 
Royal plush/Orwell may take a month or more to show there hopefully final 
tint. The MIS Print may not get any green votes if not viewed side by side 
with a Piezo print. Its only recently that I have had a chance to really 
compare Piezo tone with MIS standard tone and I'm seeing the opposite of what 
I expected. I was looking for the reddish warm of MIS that I remembered from 
a couple years ago.
