I've seen this in UV printers, too (UV = inkjet, but the ink is cured with UV instead of solvent evaporation).

I poked around to figure out how they can print from so far away, but couldn't find any sources talking about it, and if printing from ~10cm away needs special tricks to accomplish or not.

The one trick I can think of to extend print distance would be increasing the drop size. That would probably be acceptable when printing on cars (the article) or mugs (UV printers) -- is that the trick?
