AI slop picture i swear. Inkjet heads essentially boils ink to jet (see?) it out of tiny nozzels. Never drips like that.

No, that is "bubble jet". Inkjets are proper resonant squirts, usually piezo driven.
And, for that reason, inkjets work with a much wider variety of liquids. Taken to the extreme, you have full color 3d prints with incredible precision: https://youtu.be/4IkvzMJihuY
The Epson Stylus 440 (640?) we had in the family when I was a child was the first time I encountered this piezoelectric effect in technology. Back then you'd get all these paper manuals (or at least we did in India).
I think the little pictures they drew were quite descriptive:

Boy, there was so little content in those days. You didn't have the whole Internet so we used to actually read manuals for entertainment hahaha.
Thank you for your link. That's a sick resin printer from Mimaki. How cool that they started out as a 2D printer company and decided to just layer things up!
If you scroll down a bit, you can see more realistic looking videos.
