+  <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:
