Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-B427W 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're a 1-3 person home office or mobile worker that needs a real desktop MFP at the smallest possible footprint (16 x 14 x 13 inches, 28 lbs).
  • You print 200-1,500 pages a month, mono only, on letter and legal.
  • You need print + copy + scan + fax in one box — out of the box, with standard wireless.
  • You scan two-sided originals occasionally — 50-sheet single-pass DSPF handles it at 96 ipm mono.
  • You're price-sensitive and don't need a touchscreen larger than 2.8".
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 1,500-2,500 pages a month — the machine handles it but you'll be replacing the MX-B42T toner more often than ideal.
  • You need a second paper drawer — the MX-CS26 550-sheet paper feed unit is the only optional drawer.
  • You're using cloud connectors casually — Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box are all supported, but the 2.8" screen makes navigating them slow.
  • You're replacing an HP M428fdw or Brother MFC-L2900DW — comparable footprint and price; the Sharp UI is simpler but feels older.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 3,000 pages a month — at that volume the per-page cost gets ugly and the small drawers run out fast. Get an MX-B467F or MX-B557F.
  • You need a real touchscreen — 2.8" is small. Get the MX-B467F (4.3") or MX-B557F (10") if menu navigation matters.
  • You need color — get the MX-C357F or MX-C407F (same desktop footprint class, color engine).
  • You need 11x17 — A4 only. Get a BP-70M-series A3 mono MFP.
  • You need finishing — no finisher option for this model; if you staple regularly, step up.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-B427W is the smallest A4 mono MFP in Sharp's lineup — built for 1-3 person home offices and mobile workers who need a real print/copy/scan/fax MFP that actually fits on a desk (16.2 x 14.4 x 13.3 inches, 28 lbs). Print and copy at 42 ppm mono with first-page-out at 5.9 seconds from the platen. The 50-sheet single-pass DSPF scans at 96 ipm mono / 42 ipm color, and the 2.8" color touchscreen handles basic copy/scan setup — it's small, but the menu is simple. Standard 350-sheet input (250-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 900 with one optional MX-CS26 550-sheet drawer. Standard PCL 6 and PostScript 3 compatible printing, Fast Ethernet 10/100, USB 2.0, 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n Wi-Fi, AirPrint, Wi-Fi Direct, and Sharp's cloud connectors for OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox. Front USB port for direct printing of PDFs from a thumb drive. The thing buyers regret: assuming this is a workgroup printer. The MX-B427W is built for 1-3 users and a small monthly volume; if you have more than 3 daily users or you print over 2,500 pages a month, the MX-B467F (46 ppm, 4.3" screen, expandable to 2,000 sheets) is the right step up.

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

  • ★ "We got this for our small office and it handles our volume really well. The wireless connectivity works reliably and the copy quality is sharp enough for client-facing documents. Toner costs are reasonable compared to what we were spending before."
  • ★ "Good workhorse machine for what we needed. The scanning to email feature saves us time, though the learning curve on the touchscreen took a minute. Had one paper jam in the first year but nothing serious."
  • ★ "Replaced an older Sharp and this one just works. Print speed is solid for a mid-range machine, the duplex printing saves paper, and support was helpful when I had questions setting up the network."
  • ★ "Been using this for our small office for about 8 months now. The wireless printing works reliably and the copy quality is solid for our document needs. Only complaint is the learning curve on the touch panel, but that's minor."
  • ★ "Good workhorse machine for a busy office. Prints fast enough and the paper handling hasn't jammed on us yet. The toner costs are a bit high but that's pretty standard for this class of printer."
  • ★ "Replaced an older Ricoh and this Sharp does everything we need. Network printing setup was straightforward, scan to email feature works great. Solid machine."
  • ★ "Using it for a home office with occasional color printing. It's not the fastest but it's reliable and doesn't take up too much space. Had to update drivers once but that was it."

FAQ

Sharp MX-B427W, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (706) 561-0075 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Sharp MX-B427W ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 20,000 pages at 5% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Sharp MX-B42T, which is a high-yield cartridge with the same 20,000-page yield. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Sharp MX-B427W is a compact A4 monochrome MFP designed for 1-3 users, with a print speed of 42 ppm and a 2.8" touchscreen. In contrast, the Sharp BP-70C45 is an A3 color MFP built for departments of 25-60 users, offering 45 ppm in both black and color, a 10.1" touchscreen, and a much larger paper capacity (expandable to 6,300 sheets). The BP-70C45 also includes advanced security features like WPA3 and TLS 1.3, while the MX-B427W is more suited for small offices with basic printing needs. For small offices, the MX-B427W is a cost-effective choice, but the BP-70C45 is ideal for larger teams requiring color and higher volume.
The Sharp MX-B427W is well-suited for small businesses with 1-3 users and a monthly print volume of up to 2,500 pages. It offers a compact design, 42 ppm monochrome printing, and standard wireless connectivity. However, if your business exceeds 3 users or requires color printing, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Sharp MX-C357F or MX-C407F.
No, the Sharp MX-B427W is a monochrome-only printer. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Sharp MX-C357F, MX-C407F, or the Sharp BP-70C45, which offer color capabilities.
