Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA) has announced two new A4 MFPs and two new printers with compact footprints. The new devices also offer faster print speeds, upgraded user interfaces, advanced security features and increased toner capacity compared to previous Sharp models.

The color MX-C358F MFP and MX-C428P printer, as well as the monochrome MX-B468F MFP and MX-B468P printer, print on letter or legal paper and offer high-quality, professional color and monochrome output at print speeds ranging from 35 to 46 pages per minute.  

These models utilize an easy-to-use capacitive touch screen that delivers an accurate, responsive user experience. Built-in Easy Copy and Easy Scan modes provide fast and simple operation for everyday, basic functions. All four A4 models feature mobile printing, fully supported by AirPrint, while the optional wireless LAN enables devices to be positioned anywhere within the organization. Additionally, security features such as system integrity check at startup, firmware attack prevention and 256-bit AES encryption help ensure user data remains safe and protected.

"Sharp continues to enhance our A4 product line with the modern worker in mind," says Dino Pagliarello, vice president of product management and production print, SIICA. "Features such as AirPrint, enhanced security and an intuitive touch-screen interface are no longer just nice to have, they are a necessity for successful modern small-office and home-office environments."

The new models, which replace the previous MX-B467F, MX-B467P, MX-C357F and MX-C407P models, are available to order immediately and can be purchased directly through Sharp or through an authorized Sharp dealer.
