I just forgot to say that MankatiUSA will add a special serial number to the US printers, only the ones that have a US serial number will be allowed tech support in the USA.
No US support will be available for directly imported printers, which, after import costs will only allow to save a couple hundred $, so it makes no real sense to deal with the China based factory. If you were to have 1 defect you'd have to ship the printer to China, costing you way more than the couple hundred dollars saved by directly importing it.
