Nope... the best one for just that is one by KIP. I believe it's called the KIP Color 80. We are getting one.
How much does that run?

About 2k per month... it's kinda like a giant copy machine in terms of leasing and service. But it's fast... real fast. 300 2x3 posters an hour fast! If you can't find a market for that, then it's probably not for you.
It can print on valeron, and a velum type of paper for backlit stuff. As well as some special clear and white adhesive stuff as well. It's good enough for 80% of the kind of signage we get here in Las Vegas. Can't fully replace a solvent printer.

We have an Oce colorwave 600 and its quick, but the quality is not great compared to our Canon Imageprograf. Its good for those quick posters or line drawings. You can also feel the ink on the paper and you can't hot laminate it. You are also limited on your paper choices. It won't print on any type of gloss paper or scrim banner.
We looked at the Kip Color 80. Cost was around $85k plus a sq ft charge for the monthly maintenance and its not toner inclusive. Looks like a much better machine than the Oce, it just was just out of our budget range.
