This is the one we suggest most often when someone wants a Sharp. 45 pages per minute in colour and mono, 21ppm at A3, and the same excellent BP-70 platform as the rest of the range. Same touchscreen, same Teams integration, same security. Up to 150,000-page monthly duty cycle. The finishing options are extensive: staple, punch, fold, booklet. We've put loads of these into medium offices and they just quietly do their job, month after month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the BP-70C45 your most recommended Sharp?
45ppm hits the sweet spot. Fast enough for shared environments, not so fast you're paying for speed you'll never use. The finishing options cover everything most offices need, and Sharp's build quality means it just keeps going.
Does it scan in colour even though it prints colour?
It scans in full colour at up to 280 images per minute with the optional dual-scan ADF. One of the fastest in its class.
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.
