1. A method for applying powder to a printed sheet, the method comprising the following steps: ejecting air flows from a nozzle bar; andsetting the ejection of the air flows per meter length of the nozzle bar to produce a resultant force acting on the printed sheet of from 0.5 newtons to 16 newtons.
2. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises setting the resultant force acting on the printed sheet to from 3.5 newtons to 10 newtons.
3. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises setting the resultant force acting on the printed sheet to from 4.0 newtons to 5.0 newtons.
4. The method according to claim 1, which further comprises: transporting the printed sheet past the nozzle bar with a transport device; andfixing a rear edge of the printed sheet with the transport device during transport.
5. The method according to claim 4, which further comprises: fixedly holding a front edge of the printed sheet with a front gripper bar of the transport device, and simultaneously fixedly holding the rear edge of the printed sheet with a rear gripper bar of the transport device.
6. A printing press, comprising: a nozzle bar carrying out the method according to claim 1.
