+ <title>Can I get notified when my color profile is inaccurate?</title>
+ <p>
+ Unfortunately we can't tell without recalibrating whether a device
+ profile is accurate.
+ We can use a simple metric of the amount of time since calibration
+ to determine if a recalibrate is recommended.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Some companies have very specific timeout 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
+ <guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq> dialog
+ next to the profile.
+ A warning notifications 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 policy in days:
