Things such as Lyson Cave Paint color pigments, Cone Piezography monochrome pigments, papers that Wilhelm is never sponsored to test, and things like Breathing Color canvas, with and without varnish. This is just the beginning and with new products that come on to the market, if his venture is successful, he'll be testing what people are actually using out here. Not just what we are told to use. In short, he is testing what USERS are sending him, not what the manufacturers are sending him. That's a huge difference is approach. Huge.

Unfortunately this is also why there is no money involved and getting this up to critical mass is difficult. Last time I checked IPI wanted $750 for a test that was half as involved, that's $750 per target.
