Can I laser print on top of already laser printed pages?

In a perfect world, yes.

But in the world we live in, the salesman promises, or the buyer imagines that a machine may be suitable, then they put the responsibility onto the tech to live up to these imagined criterion. Read the specs, or an operators manual? Are you mad? This guy is a printer and had no concept of the media types or variable meaning of the lb designation. He does the majority of his printing on a $95 inkjet.

Or the machine proves perfectly suitable for the initial criterion. Now why can't we print onto those spare chunks of particle board? And why not? Wood is like paper, sort of. This guy wants to buy a $700 color MFP to do the same tasks as a $15K to $20K full sized machine. Sorry! That $14K difference is price means major differences in the machine. Who'd a thought? =^..^=

Store websites very often have bad specs on their site and even on the labels they print under the products. In fact, for my MF8350Cdn, the spec sheet in the shelf printed by the store clearly says it does double sided scanning (then again, they probably like me thought if the $200 inkjet next to it does it, this $800 laser must do it, but it doesn't). But I had read the specs on the Canon site before buying as well as reviews so I knew it didn't do double sided scanning but with the $350 discount there was on it it was worth it (double sided printing is what's most important to me).

I did know what lbs rating means, I've been running a printing service for over 5 years, it's the g/m2 ratings I didn't know much about as they are rarely used.

And my inkjet is $700, not $95, a $95 inkjet could never have printed 250 000 prints and still work, not to mention it certainly wouldn't be 35 pages/minute like my $700 inkjet.

About reprinting the sheets a 2nd time this was for a project that I thought of 2 days ago, and finally I decided to put a colored background on the cards so I will have to print the card ID codes with the design itself as the codes are white against a black background.

When you buy specialized equipment on general-purpose stores, where salespeople usually have only a slight grasp of what's being sold, it's not unusual for the specs to be erroneous at best or totally wrong at worst.
