Sharp Ink & Toner

Sharp toner cartridges for busy offices

People use Sharp multifunction devices in offices of all sizes. These Sharp printers allow employees to print, fax, scan, and copy on one machine. This means they take a lot of ink. All of these devices use Sharp toner cartridges, and for those workspaces with older machines, they use Sharp ink cartridges. These high-powered machines output black or colored pages at speeds from 21 to over 70 ppm. The toner cartridges can handle the speed and power of these Sharp laser printers and still result in crisp, clear prints. They also contain a large quantity of toner inside so users can output many documents and projects before having to replace the cartridges.

Perks of printer toner

Printer ink uses liquid to apply to the paper, but toner, on the other hand, uses powder that heats up and essentially melts to the paper. There are many benefits to using toner, including:

• Most laser printer toner can output thousands of pages before needing replacement, with Sharp toner reaching numbers as high as 15,000
• Toner creates crisp, clear words and images
• While the majority of commercial laser printers use only black, there are many that have color toner for vivid, pop-from-the-page photographs

Finding the correct Sharp toner and ink cartridge

Getting the correct Sharp laser printer cartridge for your multifunction machine is important. The names of the printers and the toner cartridges have many numbers and letters that don't always match. Take note that many ink and toner cartridges are compatible with several printers, but it's still essential to know which fits in a specific machine. Sharp tries to make it easy for users by often matching up the series letters with the toner letter. For example, toner cartridges for the MX series printers will have the letters MX in the front. When in doubt, look at the packaging for a list of compatible machines, or check machine labels for a list of compatible toners.
