I need help. I am writing an article about EFO's and I realized I don't know the difference between a color shift and a misregistered stamp. I thought they were the same but I am now told they are not. Can someone explain the difference to me please. Thanks

Perhaps you should ask whoever told you, for their definition of the difference(s). I've just found this:

Thanks for the response. I was told that a color shift was where one or two colors were shifted and that a misregistration was where multiple colors were just slightly off creating a blur effect.

re: Help with definition of color shift and misregistered

Going by this example and its description, it seems the reverse of your given definition:

GB Christmas 2013; major double shift.

I do have examples (not at hand at the moment) where a single colour has been printed 'out of alignment' and these too are always referred to as colour shifts. It appears that this is the terminology I have seen generally used.

Perhaps others may have a different view.

I don't see any difference in practice between the two terms. Happy

Misregistration results in one or more colour shifts.

* Misregistration is the error in the printing process.

* Colour shifts are the results.

Like a lot of terminology in stamp collecting it comes down to a combination of personal preference and local tradition.

I'm glad it's not just me who thinks that.

Let's try not to post too many of those scans. I thought I needed an new eyeglass prescription for a moment Big Grin

I must apologise on behalf of Canon Lide, he was very, very drunk at the time.
