I would not think it's critical as long as you keep your print clean with no
excessive dust or other contamination. Once the toner cools (a few moments
after printing), I'd expect it to stay unchanged for a very, very long time.
I believe its ability to be remelted does not change over time either
(prolonged intensive UV exposure might affect that - I am not sure). The
paper will probably not change in the several hours time between printing
and re-melting. So, unless I am missing something obvious, I think time is
not a critical factor at all.
