Abstract
In a tightly integrated parallel printing architecture having at least a first print engine and a second print engine, the first print engine and a second print engine includes a first fuser system having a first fusing member for fusing marking particles on the substrate and second fuser system having a second fusing member for fusing marking particles on the substrate, including: a calibration system for maintaining uniform gloss characteristics between printed images generated by the first fusing system and the second fusing system, the calibration system including sensor for sensing a gloss value indicative of the gloss of the fused marking particles on the substrate.
