About Prestia Consulting
Founded by Lou Prestia in 2001, Prestia Consulting offers manufacturers' representation, color management consulting, and training for print service providers and packaging converters. We provide conflict-free advice and distribute specialized color management hardware & software with recommendations focused solely on your needs.
Lou authored the original Color Management Professional Certification used by Idealliance and Printing United Alliance, and has consulted on high-end projects including the Richard Diebenkorn Catalogue Raisonné (2016) and corporate valuations for several M&A transactions. After senior roles at EFI, X-Rite, Pantone, and Adobe Systems, Prestia Consulting returned to product representation and consulting in 2025.
Lighting is often the hidden cause of color problems in print and manufacturing. Standard spectrophotometers cannot measure UV radiation or the full spectral characteristics required for ISO compliance — only a purpose-built spectroradiometer can. We survey D50 and D65 lighting systems against ISO 3664:2025 and ISO 3668:2017 and are currently offering complimentary, confidential lighting surveys for a limited time. Learn more →
