misregisters
Fails to align
Misregisters means to register incorrectly or fail to align properly.
The term appears most often in printing and imaging, where misregistration causes colors or layers to appear offset: The cyan misregisters by a millimeter, creating a blurry effect.
It can also describe mechanical or electronic failures to record accurately: The sensor misregisters temperature when humidity is high.
