With paint!

In a nutshell, the inks used for printing on these other kinds of
materials is more like an acrylic paint. The paint is effectively
blown onto the surface by the print head. Unlike traditional inks
which get absorbed into the surface, these are painted onto the
surface and then quickly dry.
