Looking at an old motherboard earlier, I noticed two things.   The
white component legend is about half lettering and half geometric
shapes.   The lettering is very thin.   A laser printer could easily
print that artwork.   So I was thinking, "Hmmm....can I get a laser
printer toner that's white, rather than black, so I can print this
onto transfer paper and use it to label my PCB ? "

Unfortunately, there's no such toner.   However, this WATER SLIDE
DECAL might work.   It comes in 8.5" by 11" sheets !   Also it comes
in a laserprinter version as well as inkjet.    I will investigate
this stuff further...
