Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp BP-70C45 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 department of 25-60 people that needs A3 (11x17) color and prints 8,000-15,000 pages a month.
  • You scan large jobs daily — single-pass duplex at 280 ipm via the 300-sheet DSPF keeps a 200-page contract moving.
  • You want a faster engine than the C31/C36 without jumping to the 55-65 ppm chassis cost.
  • You need Sharp OSA app integration for a third-party document workflow (DocuWare, M-Files, Square 9, etc.).
  • You want WPA3 wireless, TLS 1.3, and Bitdefender antivirus (optional) in a single box without bolt-on kits.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 pages a month — the machine is sized for that, you're paying for a bit of speed headroom you may not use.
  • You need finishing — the BP-FN11 inner finisher (50-sheet staple) handles small jobs; for booklets, step up to the BP-FN14/16 saddle stitch console finishers.
  • You're moving from a Ricoh or Konica A3 MFP — operators adjust to the Sharp UI in 1-2 weeks; the menu logic is different but not harder.
  • You want fax — the BP-FX11 fax expansion kit is required (not standard).
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 3,000 pages a month — overkill. Get a BP-70C31 or even a desktop MX-C507F.
  • You need 55+ ppm — step to the BP-70C55 or BP-70C65 in the same Advanced Series.
  • You only print letter and legal — the A3 capability is wasted; an A4 desktop covers it for less money and floor space.
  • You don't have rack/floor space for a 24 x 26 x 34 inch unit (187 lbs base, more with finisher).
  • You need 11x17 from every tray — Tray 1 is letter/legal/ledger only; serious A3 volume needs the optional 3,000-sheet large capacity cassette.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp BP-70C45 sits in the middle of the Advanced Series A3 color lineup at 45 ppm in both black and color — the speed sweet spot for departments of 25-60 people running 8,000-15,000 pages a month. It uses the same chassis, 300-sheet single-pass DSPF, and 10.1" touchscreen as the BP-70C31 and BP-70C36, but the engine is meaningfully faster: first-page-out is 4.6 seconds black / 6.5 color from the platen, and copy/print speed is 45 ppm. Standard 650-sheet capacity (one 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 6,300 with the optional split tandem drawers and the 3,000-sheet LCC. Connectivity is full out of the box: Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, AirPrint, Universal Print. Cloud connectors for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox are all standard — not bolt-ons. The thing buyers regret: skipping the BP-DD10 double-feed detection kit. If you scan stacks of mixed-thickness originals daily, double-feed errors will eat hours over a year; the kit pays for itself.

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 6 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Sharp machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We use this in our small law office for high-volume document copying and it's been solid. The color output is sharp and the speed keeps up with our workflow. Only wish the toner cartridges weren't so expensive."
  • ★ "Got this for our school's media center and it handles the load pretty well. Paper jams happen occasionally but nothing worse than other machines we've had. The finishing options are helpful for our flyers and booklets."
  • ★ "Installed this at our print shop six months ago and it's been reliable. The touch screen interface is straightforward, color accuracy is consistent, and it integrates fine with our existing setup."
  • ★ "Bought this for our small law office and it's been solid. Color output is crisp for client presentations, and the finishing options like stapling and hole-punch save us time. Speeds decent too, handles our daily volume without complaints."
  • ★ "It's a workhorse for sure, but the UI feels a bit dated and takes getting used to. That said, reliability is there and paper jams are rare. Good value if you need something that just works."
  • ★ "Using this in a busy print shop environment and the BP-70C45 keeps up. Color consistency is strong across jobs and toner costs aren't terrible. Would buy the same model again."

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Sharp TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Sharp BP-70C45 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Sharp includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Sharp reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Sharp BP-70C45 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
