It is a nice setup in that you have everything needed for silk screening in one compact unit.
The main issue with making PCBs via silk screening is alignment.
Without some provisions for aligning the work with a known reference
it is difficult to print in the right place.
You can make a silk screen setup for PCB work. There should be a lot of good info on basic screen printing on the web and in books. The major cost would be chemicals.
The video does show the messy part. Mostly you have to rinse/clean the screens out. It is a lot of cleanup for 1 or 2 boards.
The toner transfer system from PulsarProFx can be used both for etching PCBs and doing silkscreen (like) graphics. As far as I know it can not do a true solder mask.
