Sharp MX-C528P

The Sharp MX-C528P is the print-only version of the MX-C528F — 52 ppm A4 color, no scan, no copy, no fax. Designed for offices that already have a separate scanner and need a fast color print engine in a small footprint. Volume target is 7,000 to 14,000 color and B&W pages a month. It runs 52 ppm at 1200 x 1200 dpi, has duplex print, supports Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Mopria. The thing buyers regret: this is print-only, so if your team also needs to scan invoices or copy contracts, you need a second device — which means two pieces of hardware to manage. Buy this only if you are confident your scan and copy needs are already covered. With that, the MX-C528P is a fast, compact A4 color print engine at a focused price; without it, the MX-C528F at a small premium covers more bases.
