Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-C304W 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...

  • Pick this if you want the longer parts runway over the MX-C303W.
  • Pick this if you do 3,000 to 8,000 mixed pages a month.
  • Pick this if you only need letter and legal.
  • Pick this if you want Wi-Fi Direct for guest printing.
  • Pick this if you want AirPrint and Mopria for staff.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you mostly print B&W with light color.
  • It's fine if your finishing is desk-stapler level.
  • It's fine if you stay on the standard tray.
  • It's fine if you only occasionally need 30 ppm bursts.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if pricing is too close to the MX-C428F — upgrade instead.
  • Skip this if you ever need 11 x 17.
  • Skip this if your color volume is over 1,000 pages a month.
  • Skip this if you print over 10,000 a month.
  • Skip this if you need an inline finisher.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-C304W is the next generation of the MX-C303W — same 30 ppm A4 color class, refreshed controller and panel firmware. Volume target is 3,000 to 8,000 mixed pages a month for small offices and team workspaces with light color needs. It supports 30 ppm color and B&W, duplex print and scan, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, AirPrint, and Mopria. The thing buyers regret: shoppers comparing the MX-C303W and MX-C304W often expect a meaningful upgrade and find the daily experience nearly identical — the deltas are panel responsiveness and minor firmware features. If pricing is close, buy the C304W for the longer parts runway and slightly fresher firmware; if the C303W is significantly cheaper, the savings are real and the daily-use difference is small. For small offices that need basic A4 color in a compact footprint with light color volume, this is a sound choice.

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.
