Sharp MX-6070N

The Sharp MX-6070N is the 60 ppm A3 color MFP from the generation just before the current MX-6071 — the most recent prior-gen unit, sold today mostly as off-lease or refurb. Volume target is 15,000 to 30,000 mixed pages a month for departments, branches, and shared workgroup zones. It supports 60 ppm color and B&W, 11 x 17, duplex print and scan, the early Android-based panel, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Mopria. The thing buyers regret: panel firmware on the MX-6070N may not get the same long-term cloud-app updates as the current MX-6071 — over 4-5 years that gap can affect scan-to-cloud workflows. If your office lives in scan-to-cloud, the new MX-6071 is the safer bet. If you mostly scan to email or to a network share, the MX-6070N at refurb pricing is excellent value with a Modern panel and a strong page rate.
