Inspect
Shirt QA is process — pretreat, RIP, gap, firing — not Head Alignment. Attach the art file when the print does not match the job.
1
Nozzle check
Missing columns fake every other diagnosis.
2
Platen / gap
High side looks like ‘alignment’ in the middle of the panel.

Enter D/E/F/G
Only after firing is even and density is even.

Reprint the sheet
Done when 0 is the sharpest cell on every row. Stop turning knobs.
Machine facts live on Printers. This box below is only marks on this photo.
Software often prints faint A–G or −4…+4 labels — or none. Write them on the paper if you need to. Grok will read the handwriting, circles, arrows, and anything else you put on the sheet.
Optional but useful: transcribe it here too. Grok still reads the photo. Extra notes on the print (not just labels) are fair game — clogs, “wet pretreat,” a circled defect, a skip.
Remaining-life is a field estimate from visible firing plus these hours — not a manufacturer counter, not a warranty.
