We are going through a bit of growing pains with a newer outside printer (new to us) and are having them run a web press with an inline punch.
Our image and punch have at times landed up to an 1/8" off center on the length of the sheet. The press has a 17" x 22' impression area. The punch is stepped correctly as is the art, but we have sheets coming back to us uncentered. And the punch not centered to the art.

What is a normal / typical amount of play that a machine/operator should have when running a web? We have not had this issue with the old(out of business now) printer. I believe the machine was the same make. Sorry don't know the model.
