Sure you can, that is the method used in any PCB fabric. In my silk screen stuff vendor, there is a etch resist ink for sale just to made PCBs.
The toner transfer method is a method where you print your layout in a material for that (I use laser film, other use magazine papers, and ther are for sale some films specific for that), and then you transfer the image to the pcb with some heat (I use clothes iron to make it). The silk screen method, I think you know how it is...
