I'm not aware of any white toner. As far as i know the only way to get
white is ribbon type printers.
But i don't understand why it would be required to be white, black is
perfectly fine and any other color would work too, apart from the color
the PCB is, so yellow is possibly the worst choice and white doesn't
really seem such a good idea either. Note that industrial boards use dark
green soldermask - so white is good and black is bad, but for a bare PCB
that is not true.
