Yes!
I attended a presentation about this technology recently. It looks
ideal for the kind of short-run book publication ideas I'm working on
at present. The imaging limitations are interesting ... I'm
developing techniques for adjusting color/contrast/etc to suit the
medium.
We're talking high-end prices for the machinery here, however ...
this is neither "home use" nor even most businesses. ;-)

Those high-end electrostic printers can provide rather nice
results. I've been working on a project for Lincoln Mercury's ad
agency to develop brochures printed in response to web requests for
information. The new high volume laser printers allow for variable
text streams, which means a book can be targeted to an individual
with info like credit pre-approvals, local offers, etc. The
photography prints quite nicely with just a touch of reflective
variation and color change within a run. We eventually plan to
allow consumers a choice of car color in their book. The printer
can, for example print a run of Mercury Mariner books with
different colored vehicles in response to consumer requests. If
you'd like to see what state of the art laser printing looks like,
go to Lincoln.com or mercuryvehicles. com and ask for more
information about a specific model.
