For things like that, you need to use one of the 3DS ProJet (formerly Z-corp) or Mcor printers that support full color printing. The image you show looks like a ProJet print. These use colored binder fluid ink-jetted into a powder bed to produce prints that are then infused with a clear resin or wax to strengthen them. This is the material Shapeways calls "sandstone".
The Mcor process involves ink-jetting onto regular A4 paper stock that's laminated and cut on the edges, producing a model that needs no further infiltration, although it can be used for extra strength.
