Even though it’s a random characteristic it’s very common and impossible to keep sheets perfect on large running offset printing presses. Even though they check sheets regularly throughout the run sheets get by with imperfections before the press can be adjusted. I’ve press checked thousands of jobs over my thirty year career and like trimming it’s common to the printing process.
