Is there any affordable sheetfed in the market? wouldn't it potentially kill the laser/toner printers?

Yes, you have several printers looking into the B2 market for high speed inkjet plus the Landa Press. KM1, and Fuji J Press might be the only off the top of my head that are being sold currently.

Isn't the Jpress like $3 Million?

I thought that too but some people who have these type of printers have told me they are very limited as to what paper you can run.

HP used to sell a office type high speed machine that was ink jet. HP edges closer - Business Info | Print IT | Pen to Paper | Print IT Reseller | Sustainable Times

If they come out with a production sheetfed like the jPress for around $500,000 US I'll buy it.
