Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp BP-50C55 is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department or production cell of 40-80 people printing 12,000-25,000 pages a month with steady A3 color volume.
  • You need 55 ppm in both black and color and first copy out under 4 seconds B/W from the platen.
  • You scan and copy heavy two-sided stacks daily — 100-sheet RSPF at 80 ipm with original size detection.
  • You want the 6,300-sheet max capacity to keep paper-out events out of the workflow.
  • You're standardized on Sharp's Cloud Connect for scan-to-Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 25,000-30,000 pages a month — the engine handles it, just plan toner and drum replacement cadence accordingly.
  • You want PostScript 3 for production color workflows — MX-PK13L kit, optional.
  • You need fax — BP-FX11 kit, optional.
  • You want Wi-Fi — BP-EB10 adapter, optional.
  • You want saddle-stitch booklet output — BP-FN14 or BP-FN16 finishers cover it.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 8,000 pages a month — overbuying. The BP-50C36 or 50C45 will fit better.
  • You print over 35,000 pages a month — go to the BP-70C65 in the Advanced series, or look at production-class hardware.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning at 240 ipm — the RSPF is reversing, max 80 ipm.
  • You want 1200 x 1200 dpi color output — this caps at 600 x 600 color (1200 mono).
  • You only print mono — buy the BP-50M55 and save the color toner cost.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp BP-50C55 is the 55-ppm option in the BP-50 Essentials A3 color family, aimed at mid-to-high volume departments and production cells where the BP-50C45 runs out of headroom but the BP-70 Advanced series is overspec. Print speed is 55 pages per minute in both black and color at 1200 x 1200 dpi mono / 600 x 600 dpi color, with first copy out at 3.7 seconds B/W and 4.8 seconds color from the platen — the fastest first-copy times in the BP-50 family. Standard paper capacity is 650 sheets (one 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 6,300 sheets with split tandem drawers and the BP-LC10 large capacity cassette. The 100-sheet RSPF scans at 80 ipm with original size detection. The 10.1-inch tilting touchscreen handles direct print from Office files, scan-to-cloud, and Synappx Go mobile workflows. Finishing options include staple, hole punch, saddle stitch, and the BP-FD10 inner folding unit for tri-fold and z-fold. The thing buyers regret: same as the rest of the line — fax, PostScript, Wi-Fi, OCR, and Compact PDF are option kits, not standard. Best fit: a department of 40-80 printing 12,000-25,000 pages a month with steady A3 color volume.
