Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/04/2011 -- Demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability, the Fargo DTC4000 and DTC4500 ID card printers recently earned the US Government’s ENERGY STAR label. Both the DTC4000 and DTC4500 newly-minted eco-friendly printers are available now from Alpha Card Systems, a global leader in providing secure ID solutions.

The new environmentally-friendly stamp of approval allows the DTC4000 and DTC4500 to offer high-performance, energy-efficient solutions that are in line with corporate green initiatives. Fargo added a number of new features that increase the efficiency of the printer including a reduced default time for sleep mode from two hours to five minutes and enhancements that allow the printer to use less energy when in standby or sleep mode. In addition the printers are turned on and off using the power button instead of plugging or unplugging a power cable.

In celebration of Fargo’s contribution to environmental sustainability, Fargo is offering end users cash back on their purchase of green products. With the Go Green Get Green promotion, customers who purchase an ENERGY STAR qualified Fargo DTC4000 or DTC4500 and a box of biodegradable HID UltraCard Eco cards will receive a $100 rebate on their purchase.
