Radical Z-Offset Numbers

Hi all,Hoping to get some advice on here. Working with Creality Ender 3 V2. I set the Z-Offset and then go to print and it is wildly off base. I auto home, set Z to 0, set offset and repeat until numbers are consistent. I then paper level and auto home to check to make sure Z-offsett numbers are still consistent. So in this case I got the offset set to -1.47, go to print and see filament is not extruding and adjust the offset to -1.10 and its flowing perfectly. What is different? The first offset was -1.43, after repeat was -1.47, and 3rd repeat was still -1.47. After paper level still reading at -1.47. What am I doing wrong?
