Abstract:
A method of applying a toner print by a printing process to a substrate (3), preferably paper or board, or to a transport surface (17) for a substrate (3), which comprises the following steps: applying the toner to the substrate such that the toner print contains at least one test image (23/1, 23/2, 23/3, 23/4), and the shape and/or size of the test image is matched to at least one electrode of a sensor (19; 19/1, 19/2, 19/3) used to measure the amount of toner, measuring the amount of toner transferred to the substrate by a measuring device (21), and influencing the printing process in such a way that the difference between the actual amount of toner in the toner print on the substrate and a desired amount of toner in the toner print applied to the substrate is reduced or remains constant.
