Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-C428F 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 do 4,000 to 10,000 mixed pages a month.
  • Pick this if your office still receives faxes — fax is built in.
  • Pick this if you only need letter and legal.
  • Pick this if you regularly run batch jobs and want 42 ppm.
  • Pick this if you want AirPrint, Mopria, and Sharpdesk Mobile.
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 42 ppm bursts.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you ever need 11 x 17.
  • Skip this if you do not need fax — buy a printer-only model.
  • Skip this if your color volume is over 2,000 pages a month — uneconomic.
  • Skip this if you print over 12,000 a month.
  • Skip this if you need an inline finisher.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-C428F is a 42 ppm A4 color MFP for small offices and team workspaces doing 4,000 to 10,000 mixed pages a month. The F suffix means fax is built in, not optional. It runs 42 ppm color and B&W at 1200 x 1200 dpi, has duplex print and scan, supports Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, AirPrint, Mopria, and Sharpdesk Mobile. The thing buyers regret: this is letter-size only, so any periodic 11 x 17 needs require a second device. Confirm A3 needs at quote. The 42 ppm rate is meaningfully faster than the 30 ppm class for batch jobs, and the standard fax is a real differentiator for industries (legal, medical, insurance) that still receive fax. If your office still gets faxes and prints letter and legal in steady volume with light to moderate color, the MX-C428F is the right fit at this size class.

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.

FAQ

Sharp MX-C428F, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Sharp MX-C428F ships with a starter toner cartridge. The black toner yields approximately 25,000 pages, while the cyan, magenta, and yellow toners each yield around 14,200 pages. Replacement toner models are the MX-C52T series (MX-C52TB for black, MX-C52TC for cyan, MX-C52TM for magenta, and MX-C52TY for yellow). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Sharp MX-C428F is a 42 ppm A4 color MFP designed for small offices, while the Sharp BP-70C31 is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP built for larger workgroups of 10-30 people. The MX-C428F is faster (42 ppm vs. 31 ppm) but limited to letter-size printing, whereas the BP-70C31 supports 11x17 printing and has higher paper capacity (expandable to 6,300 sheets). The BP-70C31 also includes advanced security features like WPA3 wireless and TLS 1.3 encryption, making it better suited for industries like legal and healthcare. For small offices with letter-size needs, the MX-C428F offers better value.
Yes, the Sharp MX-C428F is well-suited for small businesses with monthly print volumes of 4,000 to 10,000 pages.
