French term

faux raccord visuel

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Textile Design
Hi all,
If anyone knows about textile design or the textile industry in general I would really appreciate your help.
This is in some teaching materials for a school teacing textile design. It is an outline of the program (course content, evaluation methods, etc.), so the style is quite telegraphic. In otherwords, not a lot of context. The term appears only once in the document, as follows:

Matière 2 / DESIGN TEXTILE / 2AT
/ Contenu
o Elaborer une recherche iconographique en étroite relation avec le cahier des charges demandé
o Elaborer une recherche graphique à partir des principes dégagés
o Extraire une gamme de couleurs exploitable en motifs, valeurs claires, foncées et intermédiaires
o Mettre en couleurs les motifs graphiques
o Apprendre à adapter les recherches et harmonies colorées à la saison
o Proposer une collection de motifs au**** faux raccord visuel**** et au raccord
...

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Also, if anyone could recommend any online FR-EN glossaries / lexicons in this field, please send me the link. Thanks !

Could this be relevant? Implied Versus Technical Repeats
If you want to see your artwork on a variety of products you need to know how to create a pattern - a repeating image, calculated to run seamlessly, horizontally and vertically, across a surface - usually fabric or paper products
...
An implied repeat looks like a technical repeat. It employs the same principles as a technical repeat - the imagery is more or less half-dropped (staggered like laid bricks) or tiled (placed in rows and columns). The difference is that it doesn’t work - because it’s done imprecisely by eye. These are two of mine. If these patterns were repeated endlessly across a page the elements would be badly misaligned and they’d look terrible.
But I can still sell these patterns because they give the overall impression of how the imagery would work in repeat

Thanks to all of you for your helpful suggestions. This text is about textile design and more specifically about techniques for printing patterns on textiles. I understood that "raccord droit" (straight matching) is when the seems line up to form one continuous pattern. So, for me, "faux raccord visuel" seems like it would be something that that (falsely) gives the impression of that same alignment, no ? Tentatively, I have "Propose a collection of patterns giving the visual illusion of matching and with actual straight matching" Opinions ?

@ all Hello
As a "raccord" is normally a seam, I kind of imagined something that looks like a patchwork with seams except that the seams are false (don't really exist but are printed perhaps). Or a logo that looks like it has been sewn onto a garment but has not in fact (maybe printed on)

I think it means non matching. In film, it means a continuity error.
