Sharp SF-8350 Toner Cartridges

Sharp SF-8350 Printer Review

As a dedicated single-function laser copier, the Sharp SF-8350 may be one of the last of its breed. Modern buyers may gravitate toward multifunction units with more features, but this machine still offers adequate speeds of up to 21 pages per minute, and competitors will have a hard time matching the low prices of Sharp SF-8350 printer toner supplies.

The unit doesn't have the kind of customization offered in larger models, but there are still several aspects that can be upgraded. Users who do a lot of multi-page scanning can opt for a standard automatic document feeder or even a reversing feeder that can handle duplex (two-sided) originals. For duplex output, users will need to add the duplex feed unit as well.

While its maximum speed might not be anything to write home about, the SF-8350 is pretty quick to respond to new jobs, with a first page out time of 6.5 seconds. A warm-up time of 120 seconds is in line with its competitors, though it may frustrate small office users who tend to use the machine only occasionally. The usual copy features are included, such as zooming from 50 to 200%, and users can make up to 99 copies from a single original.

Perhaps the single most appealing aspect of the device is its inexpensive toners. Sharp SF-8350 toner cartridges are some of the most affordable in its class. The cost per page is also quite low, as each replacement Sharp SF-8350 toner cartridge can last for up to 6,000 pages before expiring.

The SF-8350 won't necessarily compete well on speed or features alone. Where it does excel is in its price to performance ratio, with a low purchase price and inexpensive Sharp SF-8350 toner supplies. With the addition of an automatic document feeder upgrade, it could make a very affordable copy solution for a small office on a budget.
