Lunavast CrafteHbot Inkjet Coloring 3D Printer

Lunavast CrafteHbot is strange looking attempt of a full color 3d printer from Japan. It uses inkjet attachment to paint on the deposited filament. Detailed information about it is limited and I'm skeptical that this is a robust solution. I'm not even sure if the inkjet attachment is custom made or used from a moded paper printer.
