Not sure this would help in your situation, but when was the last time you cleaned around the heads? Also do you have any lint build up on or around you heads or capping station?

It could be a lack of alignment of the heads, do an alignment test.
Is it all around the green?
Is it in a particular direction?
How far does it extend?

The fact that the blue spot is in one direction/spot can lead you to the culprit.. There could be an uneven spot/ungreased area of the print head in that one spot that's causing the blue to possibly rub the paper or something like that.. If it was random, that would be a lot harder to diagnose..

Is the green ink cartridge next to the blue?
