DS Screen, Record Sales of 4-up CTP PlateRite 2055Vi

I was just on DS Screen USA website and saw no mention of this new device. It sounds interesting and like it may be a cost effective option for small to mid-size printers. I looked at DS Screen Europe website and they have it listed. Interestingly they have several devices listed there for CTP that are not listed in the USA website. I wonder what's up with that? Are these devices not available in the US or is the webmaster that far behind? I'm hoping Screen can comment on that. Here's some stuff about it, it's an interesting device from screen. You know Screen, they've never made a turkey yet.
