All the info you need is in this post by Rodney with detail, photos and comparisons of 8 Plastisol transfer makers. There is plenty of great info there.
I dont know if they ship to where you are, but find out!
Good Luck
Joe

Yes, this is possible

Once you have more time, you'll find lots of info on this in the forums. Try a popular keyword tag search for plastisol transfers and you'll find lots of vendors, pictures, experiences and suggestions.
