My 2 cents.
It appears to be a home made system and a very well made home made system at that. Even though he claims it is 'direct from the manufacturer, he is the manufacturer.
The only problem that I see is that he misleads you into believing that it is a white based printer but it is not. I am not sure what the base printer is but it is only a 6 color printer. He has most likely replaced one of the colors with white. This could lead to a whole lot of color correction and adjustment to get the correct colors out of the printer if you are missing the Cyan for example. Or worse, you have to replace one of the channels with white and then put it back. That would be a major concern for me and a question you must ask him. Also, anyone that claims to have eliminated the problems with printing white should explain further. To say you have done a thing does not necessarily mean that you have.
That is a lot of money (watch the shipping cost as well) for that printer. I would personally check out the Chinese printers if I were going to spend that much.
