ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling gloss in a printing system having a fuser. The method includes: creating a gloss look-up table for temperature settings; using the look-up table for temperature settings to determine a desired gloss range; measuring an actual gloss range on a substrate continuously with an in-line gloss meter; and determining whether the actual gloss range is within the desired gloss range. Where the actual gloss range is outside the desired gloss range, the temperature settings of the fuser are adjusted.
