Sharp BP-90C70

The Sharp BP-90C70 is the lower-speed model in Sharp's Pro Series Color Document Systems — a production-tier A3+ color MFP rated at 70 ppm color and 75 ppm mono on letter, sized for in-plant CRDs and high-volume workgroups printing 30,000-100,000 pages a month. The 300-sheet DSPF scans up to 280 ipm mono/color with double-feed detection, and the standard configuration includes a 2,000-sheet tandem tray plus two 500-sheet trays for 3,000 sheets, expandable to 13,500 across the MX-LCX3N 3,000-sheet LCC, MX-LC12 3,500-sheet letter LCC, and MX-LC13N 5,000-sheet ledger air-feed tray. Print resolution is 2,400 x 2,400 dpi via Adobe PostScript 3 and PCL 6, with the latest Fiery platform available as an embedded (BP-PE11) or external (BP-PE10) print server for production color management. The 15.4-inch WXGA tilting touchscreen and swing-out keyboard make complex job entries quick, and finishing options scale from the MX-FN21 100-sheet stapler to the MX-FN22 saddle-stitch finisher with optional Plockmatic Production Booklet Maker. Standard automatic duplex handles up to 300 gsm through main trays, 360 gsm through optional trays. Power: 208-240V 60Hz 20A. The thing buyers regret: speccing the C70 when their daily peak demands the C80 — they share the chassis, accessories, and footprint, so the 80-ppm uplift is usually a small upcharge that pays back in throughput.
