The two most recent lines of Sharp Multi-function Color Copiers, the Color Advanced (advanced, fully featured color copier) and Essentials Series copiers (more basic features come standard) have made a major impression on dealers and customers alike since their launch. In December 2015, the first six models were unveiled at a National Sharp Dealer Meeting in San Antonio, sparking excitement from dealers for their single-engine platform, easy-to-use common interface, and common toner supplies across the line. The release of four additional models followed closely, and available output speeds for the series now range from 30-60 pages per minute.

Now Sharp has earned 10 Highly Recommended ratings from Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI). A “Highly Recommended” rating is the highest mark a product can receive from BLI, and one of the most prestigious industry recommendations. Sharp received this rating for all 10 of its Advanced and Essentials color workgroup copiers. George Mikolay, BLI’s Senior Editor for A3 MFPs said of the recommendation, “Sharp’s new Color Advanced and Essentials Series easily earned BLI’s Highly Recommended rating, proving highly reliable throughout our rigorous testing.”

Sharp designed their Color Advanced Series and color Essentials Series copiers with end users in mind, enabling them to easily improve workflow with features like an intuitive touchscreen display with quick-access functions, integrated mobile print technologies, and Sharp’s advanced security features.

“Sharp is proud to receive the Highly Recommended rating from BLI for outstanding MFP performance of our new A3 line,” said Shane Coffey, Associate Vice President, Hardware Product Management, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. “We are constantly striving to enhance our R&D to provide customers with industry leading productivity and reliability. This recognition from BLI re-affirms our commitment to that goal.”

Sharp’s Advanced Series includes the MX-3070N/3570N/4070N/5070N/6070N document systems, and their Essentials Series includes the MX-3050N/3550N/4050N/5050N/6050N document systems.

Sharp recently announced that all models of their Color Advanced and Color Essential Series Multi-function Copiers will now include PANTONE color matching. This new feature is certain to improve color consistency and quality and will be a welcome addition for any color-critical office environment.

PANTONE’s expert color analysts have tuned the PANTONE colors for the Sharp MFPs to ensure accurate colors without extensive color expertise or the use of workflow software. PANTONE is used in many industries including graphic arts, interior design, industrial design, just to name a few. The addition of PANTONE Color Matching to Sharp’s Color Advanced and Color Essential MFPs will also allow businesses to stay true to their corporate colors on everyday print materials.
