"Worksheet","Label alignment: distinguish a constant offset from scale drift","Evidence status","Your configuration"
"Purpose","Compare the first and last label positions on a plain-paper proof. A consistent shift suggests an offset; a growing mismatch suggests scale or template geometry needs checking.","Proposed workflow",""
"Check","Question to record","Decision","Your observation"
"Same shift everywhere","Possible position offset","Check size, then nudge once",""
"Shift grows down sheet","Possible scaling or pitch mismatch","Check template and scale",""
"Irregular skew","Possible feed or sheet issue","Check loading and supported media",""
"Example","A hypothetical top row is 1 mm low and the bottom row is 7 mm low. Moving the whole design up 1 mm leaves 6 mm of progressive error at the bottom. Return to scaling and template spacing before applying larger offsets. A constant 2 mm shift at both ends is a different pattern.","Illustrative; not a measured product result",""
