Hi,

The question of using positive or negative photo resist (not PCB) is not an actual option when you use toner transfer, as you just need a thoroughly cleaned copper laminate.

Photo resist is used when you make PCB's with a film and UV light and while negative resist can be hard to come by for the hobbyist, it has a clear advantage over the positive types, as it's easier to avoid pinholes and hairline cracks in the traces.
