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.
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.
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 don't see any difference in practice between the two terms."
Let's try not to post too many of those scans. I thought I needed an new eyeglass prescription for a moment
I must apologise on behalf of Canon Lide, he was very, very drunk at the time.
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
Keith
