Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp BP-70M55 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 busy department of 40-100 people that needs in-house A3 mono and prints 12,000-25,000 pages a month.
  • You need first-page-out under 4 seconds — the M55 is fast enough that walk-up users don't queue at the device.
  • Your color volume is under 10% of total pages — saving the color engine cost is real money over five years.
  • You scan large jobs daily — 280 ipm single-pass duplex via the 300-sheet DSPF (color-capable scanner).
  • You want WPA3 wireless, TLS 1.3, and the optional MX-FR12UL data security kit support for legal/medical/government work.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 8,000-12,000 pages a month — the machine handles it without breaking a sweat; you're paying for headroom.
  • You need finishing — the BP-FN11 inner finisher works for the 55 ppm; for booklets, the BP-FN14/16 saddle stitch finishers are the move.
  • You're replacing an older Sharp MX-M series — operators adapt in 1-2 weeks; the Advanced Series UI is meaningfully cleaner.
  • You want fax — the BP-FX11 fax expansion kit is required.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — get the BP-70M31 or BP-70M36; the 55 ppm engine is overkill at that volume.
  • You need color — get the BP-70C55 in the same chassis with the color engine.
  • You don't print 11x17 — an A4 mono desktop MFP saves floor space and money.
  • You only have 15A circuits at the install location — wait, this still runs on 15A in the M-series (the C55/C65 color variants need 20A).
  • You need true production speeds (75-90 ppm) — step to the BP-70M75 or BP-70M90, both mono.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp BP-70M55 is the second-fastest A3 mono MFP in the Advanced Series at 55 ppm — built for busy departments of 40-100 people printing 12,000-25,000 pages a month who don't need color but can't have users queuing. Same 24 x 26 x 34 inch chassis and 10.1" tilting touchscreen with retractable keyboard as the rest of the BP-70 line. First-page-out is 3.5 seconds from the platen, the 300-sheet single-pass DSPF scans color at 280 ipm, and the machine runs on 110-127V/15A drawing 1.5 kW (the color BP-70C55 needs 20A — the mono M55 stays on 15A, which is a real installation savings). Standard 650-sheet capacity (550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 6,300 with split tandem and 3,000-sheet LCC. Standard Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, AirPrint, Universal Print, plus cloud connectors for Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox. WPA3 wireless and TLS 1.3 encryption come standard. The thing buyers regret: ordering this without the BP-DD10 double-feed detection kit when scanning is part of the daily workflow. At 55 ppm and 280 ipm, double-feed errors compound fast.

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

  • ★ "Good workhorse for a busy office. The output quality is solid and it's reliable, though the learning curve on some of the advanced features took a bit longer than I expected. Paper jams are rare which is what matters most."
  • ★ "We installed this in our office about two years ago and it's been solid. The 55 ppm speed keeps up with our daily volume, and the finishing options have actually reduced how much we outsource to the print shop."
  • ★ "Good workhorse machine for a small law firm. Color quality is consistent and the network setup was straightforward. Only drawback is the learning curve on some of the advanced features in the menu system."
  • ★ "Does what we need it to do for a mid-sized operation. Toner costs are reasonable and service calls have been rare. Paper jam issues haven't been a major problem like some reviews suggested."

It also has a standard paper capacity of 650 sheets, expandable to 6,300 sheets, but requires 20A circuits for operation.
