It sounds like settling.  That usually isn't an issue with desktop printers
because the carts are in the head carriage and get well agitated every time
the printer is used.  (With large format printers many pull the carts and
agitate them.)

The pattern of neutral then green is a bit odd.  It probably relates to what
ink was in the sponge as opposed to elsewhere.  It should go away as use
agitates the ink in the reservoir, but one could also remove the carts use a
bottom fill adapter to pull the affected ink out.
