Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Sharp MX-C357F 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're a 1-3 person personal/executive office that needs A4 color in the smallest possible desktop footprint (17.4 x 23.1 x 18.2 inches, 60 lbs).
You print 300-1,500 pages a month, color or mono.
You need print + copy + scan + fax in one box.
You're price-sensitive and don't need a touchscreen larger than 4.3".
You're replacing an HP M479fdw or Brother MFC-L8395CDW — comparable footprint and class.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print 1,500-2,500 pages a month — the machine handles it but the toner economics start to bite at this volume.
You need wireless — Wi-Fi is optional on this model.
You're using cloud connectors casually — basic scan-to-folder and scan-to-email are supported; deeper cloud workflows are limited compared to the larger MX-C407F/C507F.
You scan documents occasionally — 47 originals/min mono, 30/min color via the reversing ADF.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You print more than 2,500 pages a month — at this volume the per-page cost is rough. Get the MX-C407F or MX-C507F.
You scan double-sided originals every day — the reversing ADF is slow vs single-pass DSPFs in the larger desktops.
You need 11x17 — A4 only.
You need a real workgroup chassis — this is built for 1-3 users; for 5+ users at any volume, step up.
You need standard wireless — Wi-Fi is optional here.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Sharp MX-C357F is the smallest A4 color MFP in Sharp's lineup — built for 1-3 person personal/executive offices that need a real print/copy/scan/fax color MFP in a footprint that fits on a desk (17.4 x 23.1 x 18.2 inches, 60 lbs). Print and copy at 35 ppm mono / 33 ppm color (1,200 x 1,200 dpi), with first-page-out at roughly 9 seconds from ready. The reversing ADF scans at 47 originals/min mono and 30 originals/min color. The 4.3" color touchscreen handles basic copy/scan setup — small but functional. Standard 251-sheet input (250-sheet drawer plus 1-sheet bypass), expandable to 1,451 sheets with optional drawers. Standard Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; Wi-Fi is optional. Scan destinations include email, FTP, USB, network folder (SMB), and HDD. The thing buyers regret: assuming this is a workgroup printer. The MX-C357F is built for 1-3 daily users at low monthly volume; if you have more than 3 users or print over 2,000 pages a month, the MX-C407F (40 ppm, 650-sheet base, 7" touchscreen) is the right step up.

How you can buy this printer
Buy it, lease it, or just reorder supplies
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.

FAQ
Sharp MX-C357F, common questions
The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
Yes, the Sharp MX-C357F ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 9,000 pages for black and 6,000 pages for each color (cyan, magenta, yellow) at 5% coverage. Replacement high-yield toner cartridges (MX-C35TB for black, MX-C35TC for cyan, MX-C35TM for magenta, and MX-C35TY for yellow) offer the same yields. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Sharp MX-C357F is a compact A4 color MFP designed for 1-3 users, with a print speed of 35 ppm (mono) and 33 ppm (color), a 4.3" touchscreen, and a standard paper capacity of 251 sheets. In contrast, the Sharp BP-70C45 is an A3 color MFP built for departments of 25-60 users, offering 45 ppm in both black and color, a 10.1" touchscreen, and a standard paper capacity of 650 sheets (expandable to 6,300). The BP-70C45 also includes advanced features like a 300-sheet single-pass DSPF, standard Wi-Fi, and cloud connectors for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and more. For small offices, the MX-C357F is a cost-effective choice, while the BP-70C45 is better suited for larger teams with higher volume needs.

However, if your business prints over 2,000 pages a month or has more than 3 users, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Sharp MX-C407F.
