Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp BP-70M31 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a workgroup of 10-30 people that needs A3 (11x17) mono output and prints 3,000-8,000 pages a month.
  • You almost never print color — the BP-70M31 is the same chassis as the BP-70C31 minus color, at meaningfully lower toner cost per page.
  • You scan in color but print in black — the DSPF still scans color at 280 ipm, so scan-to-email of color originals works fine.
  • You want one machine that prints, copies, scans, faxes — without paying for a color engine you don't use.
  • You need WPA3 wireless and TLS 1.3 encryption standard for legal, healthcare, or government work.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 1,500-3,000 pages a month — the machine is overbuilt; you'll just amortize it on a 60-month lease.
  • You occasionally need a color print — you'll have to send those to a different device or get them done at FedEx; this is mono only.
  • You're moving from a Konica or Canon mono A3 — the touchscreen UX is different but operators adapt in 1-2 weeks.
  • You need finishing — the BP-FN11 inner finisher and BP-FN13/14/15/16 console finishers bolt on; budget 30-90 lbs of extra weight and $1,500-$5,000.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 1,000 pages a month — get a desktop A4 mono MFP like the MX-B427W; the A3 floor-standing chassis is wasted at that volume.
  • You need any color printing — get the BP-70C31 (same chassis, color engine).
  • You only print letter and legal — the A3 capability and floor space are wasted; an A4 mono desktop covers it.
  • You don't have floor space for a 24 x 26 x 34 inch unit (157 lbs base).
  • You need 36+ ppm — step to the BP-70M36, BP-70M45, BP-70M55, or BP-70M65 in the same chassis.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp BP-70M31 is the entry-speed A3 mono MFP in the Advanced Series, built for workgroups of 10-30 people printing 3,000-8,000 pages a month who don't need color. It's the same floor-standing chassis as the BP-70C31 — same 10.1" tilting touchscreen, same 300-sheet single-pass DSPF that scans color at 280 ipm, same 650-sheet standard capacity (one 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), same 6,300-sheet maximum — minus the color engine. Print and copy at 31 ppm black, first-page-out 5.4 seconds from the platen. Standard PCL 6 and Adobe PostScript 3, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Universal Print all in the box. Cloud connectors for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox come standard. The right reason to pick this over the color BP-70C31 is per-page cost: mono toner runs roughly half the cost of running color toner on a per-page basis, and if your color volume is under 10% of total pages, you'll come out ahead within the first 12 months. The thing buyers regret: assuming they'll never need color and then having a board member ask for a color report. Plan accordingly.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 5 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Sharp machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We picked this up for our small office about a year ago and it's handled the workload without complaints. Print quality is solid and the finishing options have cut down on our manual collating time significantly."
  • ★ "We use this in our small law office and it handles our high-volume copying and scanning without breaking a sweat. The finishing options are solid and the toner costs aren't unreasonable for the pages we're getting."
  • ★ "Good machine overall, though the learning curve on the touch panel took me longer than expected. Once I figured it out the workflow improved, but the manual could be clearer on some functions."
  • ★ "Replaced an older Sharp and this model's speed and paper capacity are a real improvement for our department. Reliability has been solid through eight months of daily use."
  • ★ "Works well for what we need, though the mobile printing setup took some IT help to get running properly. Once it was configured, it's been dependable."
