Sharp MX-3500N Printer Review

As the slower model in its series, the Sharp MX-3500N multifunction color laser printer still offers speeds of up to 35 pages per minute. Plenty of upgrade options are available for future growth, and the low cost of Sharp MX-3500N printer toner will start the supply savings right away.

With printing, copying, and scanning capabilities, the MX-3500 is equipped for most tasks right away. There is also an option to add faxing, for those who need it. The 8.9-inch touchscreen display offers adequate control of its many functions, though it doesn't have a modern, full-color display that is increasingly common on many multifunction devices.

Connection options include a USB port for a direct connection to a PC and an ethernet port for networking. When connected to a network, the scanning function becomes more advanced as well, as users can save files to a network folder or simply email their documents as attachments. It also includes a 100-sheet automatic document feeder for faster scanning.

The MX-3500N starts with a paper capacity of 1,100 sheets, which includes a 100-sheet bypass feeder. Upgrade options can take it all the way up to 5,600 sheets for offices that require a lot of printing volume.

Replacing toners is easy and large capacities for the Sharp MX-3500N printer toner supplies means it will be few and far between as well. Each color Sharp MX-3500N toner cartridge has a yield of around 15,000 pages. The single black Sharp MX-3500N toner cartridge is rated for around 18,000 pages.

Buyers will be impressed with the variety of features included with the MX-3500N, and its networking integration is top notch. It doesn't have the speed of some competing models, but its purchase price is a bit lower as a result, making it a very good value.
