If the resin is light resistant, how does light pass through it to the 
pigment?

If the resin is screening the pigment from degrading wavelengths, that 
is very different..  It's an issue of plain language..  

Generally,  pigments are more light resistant than are dyes... we know 
that.  So why a light resistant "resin"? If it's b/c the pigments need 
to be protected that's one thing, if it's to prevent the resin itself 
from degrading as a result of light exposure, that's something different..

Either purposefully, or accidentally, EPSON is blurring the line and 
plain language meaning here..

There's more in my next set of comments...
