Lease from £40/month

Product image coming soon

The BP-70C31 is the entry point to Sharp's latest BP-70 series. 31 pages per minute in colour and mono, 15ppm at A3. The standout features are the 10.1-inch touchscreen (which is noticeably responsive, not like the laggy panels on older copiers) and built-in Microsoft Teams integration for scanning directly into Teams channels. Security is serious: TPM chip, data encryption, secure boot. Scanning goes up to 280 ipm with the optional dual-scan ADF. Paper capacity maxes out at 6,300 sheets, and it handles stock from 55 to 300gsm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a Sharp lease from Bowden Digitec?

The machine on a fixed monthly rental, plus a managed print agreement that covers toner, all servicing, engineer callouts and parts. We use our own manufacturer-trained engineers, not subcontractors.

Does the Sharp BP-70 range support Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Every BP-70 model has built-in Microsoft Teams integration. You can scan directly to Teams channels from the touchscreen. No extra software needed.

How does Sharp's print quality compare to inkjet?

Sharp laser produces excellent glossy colour output. For property brochures, marketing materials and anything client-facing on glossy stock, laser still has the edge. For plain paper office documents, both are excellent.

What happens at the end of the lease?

We contact you before it expires. Upgrade, extend or return. No auto-renewal clauses, no end-of-lease surprises. We put all costs in writing before you sign.
