<title>Can I get notified when my color profile is inaccurate?</title>
<p>You can be reminded to recalibrate your devices after a specific period of
time. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell without recalibrating whether
a device profile is accurate, so it is best to recalibrate devices
regularly.</p>
<p>Some companies have very specific calibration expiry policies for
profiles, as an inaccurate color profile can make a huge difference to an end
product.</p>
<p>If you set the timeout policy and a profile is older than the policy then
a red warning triangle will be shown in the <gui>Color</gui> panel next to
the profile. A warning notification will also be shown every time you log
into your computer.</p>
<p>To set the policy for display and printer devices, you specify the
maximum age of the profile in days:</p>
