You can't use an inkjet to do toner transfer; it's the toner itself
that's important.  However, you can print the pattern with the inkjet
and *photocopy* it at, say, your local office supply store.  The
photocopy will be toner-based.

Yes, you can print both masks on one sheet and cut them apart.  Or,
what I do, print on regular paper first, cut out a small piece of TT
paper, and tape that over the existing print and print on it again.
