Resin dye
presumably you could buy the natural resin and add your own pigments or dyes to color it ? As long as the dye doesn't affect the curing properties.

It occurs to me that unless you want to color a large amount of resin, various size buoyancy rings which float on and a few millimeters into the surface of the resin, would be useful. This would allow you to select a ring only slightly larger than maximum x,y for the object to be printed. The ring may need to be loosely tethered by 3 cords at 120 degrees to prevent drift. This idea could drastically reduce the volume of resin required. Could that work?????

Absolutely. However, with the peachy printer, you can just change the reservoirs, and therefore negate the need for a floating ring. Want smaller prints? Use a smaller reservoir.
Maybe have three sets of reservoirs would help? A small, medium, and large could solve the problem, and be of minimal annoyance.
