Just about to do the component side of 2 boards I just finished tin
plating.  I'm using the WhiteTRF included in the Pulsar PCB starter
Kit.  The instructions start with "This film is for colorizing black
toner, printed from a laser or photocopier".

It also says "Because "WhiteTRF" uses a very heavy pigment to be able
to opaquely cover jet black toner, you will see large deposits of
white where it shouldn't be.  Don't panic.  All excess white will
easily lift off using adhesive tape.  It is preferred to use a low
tack tape like #M's Removable "MagicTape: or 3M '2070'.


So the answer to your question seems to be yes.  Check the Pulsar site
<Pulsar.gs> for the specifics.
