It may happen on any paper, but it is only noticeable on the Premium
Glossy, at least in my experience, and please don't quote me tests
conducted by people who store their prints in garbage bags filled with car
exhaust gases (I'm not joking here, people have actually done this and
similar!)

I bought my 1270 at the beginning of April, and while it became apparent
that the Premium Glossy prints shifted colour quite rapidly, there has been
no evidence of colour shifts in any of the other Epson papers I have used
(Heavyweight Matte, Archival Matte, Photo paper, and Photo Quality Inkjet
Paper)
