Default test photos using no image cut required heat transfer paper

Just had some time today to test the no image cut required heat transfer paper.
It is easy with cartoon figures or logos, with excellent resolution and quality. A little more work must be done with photos. As it is printed on garment anyway, so I saved the image into gif format first to reduce overall colors, and use my graphic program to smudge the highlighted area a little bit. Here are the the results.
If you want more info on that paper, or order test papers, here is the link for your reference:

What is the best way to contact the company to buy samples? I tried email but did not get reply.

I'm interested in this as well.

What care instructions did they provide with this paper, and have you washed your samples yet? I'm very curious to see the results after washing.

the photos I attached are after one wash. Normal heat transfer stuff, such as cold cold on washer, machine dry, no bleach. I have tested lots of heat transfer papers in the past, I believe it is more to do with ink than paper on wash performance.
Pigment based ink is the one can last longer. Also based on some other folks, for better wash performance, you can press the transferred image face up one more time after peeling, and it works only with pigment based ink.

Lots of testing to get a better result.

FYI - $10 shipping charge for 5 sheets of this "no image cut required heat transfer" sample paper pack:
"In this special sample pack, you will have three sheets of A4
(8.3x11.7 inch) no-cut heat transfer paper, and also two sheets of A4
(8.3x11.7 inch) our normal heat transfer paper for light color, I
would like you to test also, as it only costs $0.35+ per sheet, and
$0.5 for dark color, lowest in the market. We do charge $10 including shipping for this special sample pack."

We need a US supplier to bring the cost down. The exchange rate is killing the price. Looked like the priced in the other thread would put a print on this paper close to a sublimation print.

I got the sample pack, just paid $10 total, received in 2 days, the company shipped via USPS domestic priority flat rate envelope, I know the flat rate alone is $4.6.

I see I can use the no-cut in certain needs, and I guess there is no similar no cut product in the market, so they can charge more. By the way, I tested the normal heat transfer paper also, pretty good, cheapest I can get so far.

Looks like they are US based. I saw pricing in another thread that was in pounds and assumed they were UK based. Has anyone got some solid pricing in USD from them? Do they have 11x17?

Here is the ordering instruction that Mr. James Tu has emailed to me.

"We do not sale this special sample pack on our website. The easiest way to purchase is to go to our website, Welcome to www.unique4youonline.com, under iron on heat transfer, select 8.5x11 inch 10 sheets (for light color T-shirt), it is $5, when you click, it will add $5 S/h, total will be $10. We will make sure to mail you the special sample pack.

The other way is to mail a check of $10 to:
