  <title>Can I get notified when my color profile is inaccurate?</title>

  
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.

  
Some companies have very specific calibration expiry policies for

  profiles, as an inaccurate color profile can make a huge difference to an end

  product.

  
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.

  
To set the policy for display and printer devices, you specify the

  maximum age of the profile in days:

<output style="prompt">$ </output><input>gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color recalibrate-printer-threshold 180</input>
