Sharp MX-6200N Toner Cartridges

Sharp MX-6200N Printer Review

As the middle model in its lineup of multifunction color laser printers, the Sharp MX-6200N offers a good balance of speed and price. It can print up to 62 pages per minute in monochrome and 41 pages per minute in color, and uses the same design for Sharp MX-6200N printer toner supplies across the model line, keeping costs down for all.

The most impressive aspect of the MX-6200N might just be its versatility. Buyers have a number of customization and upgrade options to choose from, both before and after purchase. It starts with a whopping 3,100 sheets of input paper capacity, but can be expanded to handle up to 6,600 sheets maximum. Smaller upgrades like an external keyboard kit add convenience, while finishing options like a hole-punch kit can give projects a more professional touch.

The "N" added to the MX-6200 model name gives a clue to its networking capabilities. Nearly every feature is designed for integrated network access. The 10.4-inch color screen makes it easy to control, and provides easy access to documents stored on the 80 GB internal hard drive. These documents are also readily available to users on the office network, but can be password-protected for security.

The supply of toners utilizes micro-fine particles and a stabilizing system for more consistent results. With each color Sharp MX-6200N toner cartridge providing 31,000 pages and the black supply providing 49,000 pages, replacements will last a long time. The price of the color Sharp MX-6200N toner cartridges does tend to be a bit high, however, so users who do a lot of color printing might end up spending a lot.

The MX-6200N is an excellent choice for a busy office that doesn't need the absolute fastest speeds but leans toward better value. Its upgrade flexibility is also impressive, but expensive Sharp MX-6200N toner supplies do diminish its overall value a bit.
