Sharp Printer Cartridges & Supplies

Compatible & remanufactured supplies, tested to OEM yield standards. One-year guarantee, same-day dispatch on orders in by 3 PM ET.

Sharp is a copier brand, and its MFPs use a three-part imaging system that has become unusual: a toner cartridge (MX-...NT), a separate developer unit (MX-...GV), and a separate drum (MX-...DR), plus a waste-toner container. A Laser Recharge stocks compatible and remanufactured versions across the range: the MX-B355W and MX-B455W mono machines, the MX-3070, MX-3570, MX-4070 and MX-5070 colour MFPs, the compact MX-C304 and MX-C407 series, and the older AR line (AR-6020, AR-M257, AR-M317). Sharp toner is high-capacity by design, so there is typically one yield per model. The developer and drum are scheduled parts that last well beyond the toner. Most Sharp MFPs are on a service contract; check the terms before switching. Orders in by 3 PM ET ship the same day from South Florida under our one-year guarantee.

Buying Sharp cartridges

Sharp is different from most current brands in keeping the developer as its own part. On an MX or AR machine you are maintaining up to four consumables per colour: toner often, then developer, drum, waste container and transfer belt occasionally, each on its own counter.

The toner is high-capacity so there is usually one yield to choose. And because nearly every Sharp MFP is a contract machine, confirm you are allowed to supply your own toner before switching — the click charge often already covers it.

Popular Sharp printer families

  • MX-B mono (MX-B355W, MX-B376W, MX-B455W, MX-B476W, MX-B402, MX-B355)Desktop and workgroup mono MFPs. Toner (MX-B45NT and similar) plus a combined drum/developer on the smaller units; the B455 separates them.
  • MX colour MFP (MX-2651, MX-3070, MX-3570, MX-4070, MX-5070, MX-6070)Floor-standing colour copiers. Four toners (MX-60NT class), four developer units, four drums, a waste container and a transfer belt — all separate, all on their own schedules.
  • MX-C compact colour (MX-C303, MX-C304, MX-C304W, MX-C407P)Smaller colour MFPs using MX-C30NT or MX-C40NT toner with a per-colour drum. Lower duty than the big MX units.
  • AR series (AR-6020, AR-6023, AR-M257, AR-M317, AR-5620, AR-5623)Older mono copiers still in service. AR-toner plus a separate AR-drum and, on many, a separate developer.

How Sharp cartridges are numbered

  • The three-part system: toner, developer, drumMany Sharp MFPs keep the developer as its own replaceable unit (MX-...GV), separate from both the toner (MX-...NT) and the drum (MX-...DR). The developer and drum last far longer than the toner and are replaced on the printer's own counters.
  • MX-...NT tonerSharp toner part numbers are the printer family plus NT. There is usually one yield per model because the cartridge is already high-capacity.
  • MX-...DR drum and MX-...GV developerScheduled parts. The drum handles the image; the developer carries the toner to the drum and wears separately. Replace each when its own life counter prompts.
  • MX-...HB waste toner containerCollects spent toner and is swapped on its own schedule, independent of the toner, developer and drum.

Sharp cartridge FAQs

What is a developer unit and why does my Sharp have one separate from the toner?
The developer is the magnetic carrier that moves toner onto the drum. Most brands now build it into the toner or the imaging unit, but Sharp keeps it as its own replaceable part on many MX and AR models. It lasts far longer than the toner and is replaced when the printer's developer counter prompts.
How many parts do I need to keep a Sharp MFP running?
On a typical MX colour machine: four toners (frequent), four developer units and four drums (occasional), a waste container and a transfer belt (occasional). Each has its own life counter; you do not replace them together.
My Sharp copier is on a service contract. Can I use compatible toner?
Compatible toner fits and prints normally, but most Sharp MFPs are covered by a per-page maintenance agreement that supplies consumables. Check the contract first — you may already be paying for toner as part of the click charge.
Which Sharp toner fits my copier?
Match by the model on the front of the machine (for example MX-3070N or MX-B455W). Sharp toner part numbers are the model family plus NT.
