Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-7081 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 an enterprise central reprographics department or in-plant print room printing 30,000-80,000 color pages a month.
You need true production-class color quality — Sharp Color Consistency System keeps tone and density stable across 5,000-page jobs.
You want PANTONE-licensed color matching for marketing/brand work.
You print large jobs continuously — 3,100-sheet standard input (2,000-sheet tandem plus two 500-sheet drawers plus 100-sheet bypass) expands to 8,500 with the LCC and air-feed LCT.
You print on 13 x 19.2 SRA3 stock — this is one of the few Sharp MFPs that handles full-bleed 12 x 18 with margin trim.

Works fine

You'll be happy if...

You print 20,000-30,000 pages a month — the machine handles it; you're paying for production-class build.
You need finishing — the MX-FN21 100-sheet staple, MX-FN22 100-sheet staple/saddle stitch, MX-FN34 65-sheet, and MX-FN35 65-sheet saddle finishers all bolt on. Plan floor space.
You want a Fiery RIP — the MX-PE15 Fiery Print Server is the optional add for color-managed workflows in CRDs and in-plants.
You're replacing a Konica bizhub PRESS C71hc or Canon imagePRESS C710 — speed and quality are comparable; budget operator retraining.

Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

You print under 15,000 pages a month — get a BP-70C55 or BP-70C65 instead; the production-class chassis is wasted.
You don't have 208-240V/20A wall service — this is not a 120V appliance; it's a production unit.
You don't have 3-4 feet of width on the wall plus another 3-5 feet for a console finisher.
You only print A4/letter — the 13 x 19.2 capability and the 33 x 33 inch base footprint are wasted on letter-only workflows.
You don't have a Sharp dealer with production printer experience — finishers, supplies (MX-80NTBA black, MX-80NTCA cyan, etc.), and the Fiery RIP are not retail items.

Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-7081 is a production-class color MFP built for enterprise central reprographics departments, in-plant print rooms, and high-volume corporate copy centers running 30,000-80,000 pages a month. It prints and copies 75 ppm mono / 70 ppm color, with first-page-out at 4.0 seconds black / 5.6 color from the platen, and scans at 240 ipm via the 300-sheet single-pass DSPF (with a dedicated 150-business card feeder for ID and contact card scanning). Standard 3,100-sheet input (2,000-sheet tandem tray plus two 500-sheet drawers plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 8,500 with the MX-LC12 letter LCC, MX-LC13N air-feed LCT, and MX-LCX3N ledger LCC. The 10.1" tilting touchscreen ships standard, the chassis runs on 208-240V/20A drawing 2.88 kW, and the unit weighs 461 lbs at 33.25 x 33.25 x 49 inches. The Sharp Color Consistency System keeps tone and density stable across long runs; PANTONE Licensing is included for color-managed brand work. Optional MX-PE15 Fiery Print Server for full color-managed RIP workflows. Standard PCL 6 and Adobe PostScript 3, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, optional Wi-Fi. The thing buyers regret: spec'ing this for general office use. The MX-7081 is a production tool, not an office MFP; if your job mix is mostly internal copies and email scans, the BP-70C65 is the cheaper, smaller, lower-maintenance 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.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Sharp machines. Common threads in the feedback:

★ "Good machine overall for a small printing business. Speed is solid and it prints consistently, though the toner cartridges are pricey and the touch screen could be more intuitive. No major complaints after eight months of regular use."
★ "Replaced an older model and this thing is a serious upgrade. Network printing works smoothly, scanning to email is fast, and the duplex function saves us paper. Worth the investment if you need reliable production."
★ "Replaced an older Sharp model with this one and the MX-7081 is noticeably faster at finishing documents. Network setup was straightforward and it integrates fine with our document management system."

FAQ

Sharp MX-7081, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (305) 594-0470 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Does the Sharp MX-7081 include toner?

The Sharp MX-7081 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter black toner yields approximately 70,000 pages, while the starter color toners (cyan, magenta, yellow) each yield approximately 50,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toners include the MX-80NTBA (black, 70,000 pages) and MX-80NTCA/MA/YA (color, 50,000 pages each). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

What is the difference between the Sharp MX-7081 and Sharp BP-70C31?

The Sharp MX-7081 is a production-class MFP designed for high-volume environments (30,000-80,000 pages/month) with speeds of 75 ppm (mono) and 70 ppm (color), while the BP-70C31 is built for workgroups of 10-30 people, printing 31 ppm in both mono and color. The MX-7081 features a larger standard paper capacity (3,100 sheets vs. 650 sheets), supports larger paper sizes (up to 13x19.2), and includes advanced features like PANTONE licensing and an optional Fiery Print Server. The BP-70C31, however, offers built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and enhanced security (WPA3, TLS 1.3), making it more suitable for small offices with modern connectivity needs. For small offices, the BP-70C31 is the more practical and cost-effective choice.

Is the Sharp MX-7081 good for a small business?

The Sharp MX-7081 is not ideal for small businesses due to its high-volume design (30,000-80,000 pages/month) and production-class features. It requires 208-240V/20A power, has a large footprint (33.25 x 33.25 x 49 inches), and is built for enterprise reprographics departments. Small businesses with lower print volumes (under 15,000 pages/month) should consider a more compact and cost-effective option like the Sharp BP-70C65 or explore other commercial options.

Can the Sharp MX-7081 print in color?

Yes, the Sharp MX-7081 is a production-class color MFP that prints in both mono and color. It supports high-quality color printing at 70 ppm and includes features like the Sharp Color Consistency System and PANTONE licensing for accurate color reproduction.

How do I get a quote on the Sharp MX-7081?

Request a quote through the form on this page or call us at (305) 594-0470. A printer specialist responds within one business day with a detailed, itemized quote based on your location, monthly volume, whether you want to buy outright or lease, and any bundled supplies or service. Quotes are free and no obligation. We do not pull credit to issue a quote.

What warranty does the Sharp MX-7081 come with?

Sharp includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the Sharp MX-7081 when purchased new from an authorized reseller. Barlop Business Systems 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.
