Sharp BP-50C26

The Sharp BP-50C26 is the entry point in Sharp's BP-50 Essentials Series — a floor-standing A3 color MFP rated at 26 pages per minute in both black and color. It's the same chassis as the BP-50C31, 50C36, 50C45, 50C55, and 50C65, just with the slowest engine, which means buyers get the full 10.1-inch tilting touchscreen, the 100-sheet RSPF, max 6,300-sheet expandable capacity, and 11x17 ledger output at the lowest price point in the family. Standard paper capacity is 650 sheets (one 550-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass), and you can stack drawers up to a 6,300-sheet max with split tandem and large capacity cassette options. Print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi mono / 600 x 600 color, output up to 12 x 18, and original size up to 11 x 17. Cloud Connect handles scan-to-OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive without add-on connectors. The thing buyers regret: PCL 6 is standard but PostScript 3, fax, Wi-Fi, OCR, and Compact PDF are all optional kits — check the BOM before signing. Best fit: an office of 10-25 printing 2,000-5,000 pages a month with regular tabloid color needs.
