Abstract
For measuring magnetic properties of sheet material the sheet material is guided past a magnetic measuring system at a measuring distance defined between the sheet material and the magnetic measuring system. The sheet material is transported with a transport medium disposed between the measuring system and the sheet material. The measuring distance is determined substantially by the thickness of the transport medium. The thickness of the transport medium is selected to be smaller than a predetermined local resolution. If the local resolution is high enough it is also possible to detect magnetic printed images.
