thanks for your interest!
no, our printer doesn't have multiple toolheads. Before printing we "cut" the item into parts and print them all separately in different colours. it's longer, more complicated but what else we have to do if we have no colourful printer;)
we wanted to buy it, but a good one costs rather much, and cheaper models use too much filament for printing (much more than it's necessary for an item), it's their great disadvantage, moreover, they print very slowly. Waste of time, material and money;)

Yes, I have seen that the first multifilament printers purge more filament than they actually print in some cases. There are ways to eliminate the waste, but perhaps those designs haven't been commercially produced. I neglected that it is possible to make separate parts from different colors that can be snapped together, or glued together. Most people don't bother with multicolor prints. You demonstrate how much better multicolor prints are.
