Two images created with the Magmouse of the word ‘Bob’ printed with a non-magnetic toner (left) and a magnetic toner (right)

Figure 4.
Histogram of magnetic induction of a non-magnetic toner (above) and a magnetic toner (below). The x-axis describes the strength of the magnetic induction in mT and the y-axis describe the number of pixels N (logarithmic scale, 10log(N)).

Figure 5.
Ten different locations in the laboratory.

Figure 6.
Ten different measuring areas on the sensor of the Magmouse.

Figure 7.
Boxplot of the variation in flux.

Figure 8.
The measurement of a sample printed with a HP LaserJet 2200 (red curve) and HP LaserJet 4100 (blue curve). The x-axis describes the strength of the magnetic induction in mT and the y-axis describe the number of pixels N (logarithmic scale, 10log(N)). The squared area is a visualization of the calculated 1-norm distance score (Manhattan distance score).
