Abstract
A process for printing and/or coating of a substrate, especially of paper or cardboard, is proposed. The process calls for at least one toner layer ( ) to be transferred to the substrate and fixed on it, the surface ( ) of a gloss variation device ( ) acting at least in sections on at least one fixed toner layer ( ), or one toner layer ( ) in the course of being fixed, in order to influence the gloss of the fixed toner layer ( ). In the process, depending on the gloss to be achieved, the force with which the surface ( ) of the gloss variation device ( ) acts on at least one toner layer ( ) and/or at least one property of the surface ( ) of the gloss variation device ( ) is changed.
