A method of controlling gloss in a printing system having a fuser is provided. The method comprises: 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; determining whether the actual gloss range is within the desired gloss range; and where the actual gloss range is outside the desired gloss range, adjusting temperature settings of the fuser.
