Color & Imaging Editor
Runs the desk's ICC measurement program. Believes a gamut is something you can see, measure and defend — not a marketing percentage.
- Leads the desk's ICC gamut-measurement lab (ArgyllCMS, common-paper basis)
- Has profiled hundreds of printer + media combinations
- Writes our color methodology and proofing guides
- Can tell you what a 914,000 Lab³ gamut looks like at the cyan edge
Priya is the reason this site publishes measured color data instead of repeating brochure percentages. She runs the desk’s ICC measurement program — the one that puts every photo and graphics printer we can onto the same reference paper, computes real CIELAB gamut volumes with ArgyllCMS, and publishes the numbers with the profiles they came from. She has profiled hundreds of printer-and-media combinations and has strong feelings about all of them.
Her beat is everything where color is the product: photo and fine-art printers, proofing machines, dye-sublimation. She writes the color methodology pages, the gamut comparisons, and the guides that explain — in plain language — what a wider gamut actually buys you, where soft-proofing goes wrong, and why the paper under the ink matters as much as the ink.
