Color Management Excellence & Workflow Solutions

Prestia Consulting Has Joined Alder Color Solutions

As of August 3, 2026, Lou Prestia has joined Alder Color Solutions as General Manager of Alder Color Services. The color management consulting, calibration, and print-standardization work that Prestia Consulting clients have relied on is now delivered by a full team of Alder color experts — deeper resources, broader coverage, and the same commitment to getting your color right. For color management engagements, we'll connect you with the Alder Color Services team.

Lou Prestia authored the original Color Management Professional Certification used by Idealliance and Printing United Alliance for over fifteen years, and is a G7+ Certified Expert. His career includes Color Technology Evangelist at Adobe Systems, Workflow Architect at Nimblefish, and roles at Pantone, EFI, X-Rite, and the National Geographic Society. He holds a BS in Printing Management and Science from Rochester Institute of Technology — expertise he now brings to leading Alder Color Services.

Existing active proposals from Prestia Consulting are still valid, but will be delivered through Alder Color Solutions.
