I have thought about that, and i think it would be possible for several
transfers at least as all toner comes off.
However, i often make small PCBs and the edges leave impressions in the
paper while fusing, which might compromise print quality.

A really good sheet is not really needed it seems. the ones i made were
quick and easy to make and worked very well.
I do not think there is much gain in re-use, as the amount of silicone
needed is very small and because any paper can be used it is cheaper than
inkjet paper.
