<title>Can I share my color profile?</title>
18
Color profiles that you have created yourself are specific to the
19
hardware that you calibrated for.
20
My DreamColor LP2480zx has been powered for a few hundred hours, and
21
is going to have a very different color profile to a similar display
22
with the next serial number if it's been lit for a thousand hours.
25
This means if you share your color profile with somebody, you might
26
be getting them <em>closer</em> to calibration, but it's misleading
27
at best to say that thier display is calibrated.

You should carefully check the redistribution conditions for profiles
33
downloaded from vendor websites or that were created on your behalf.
