Digital Full Colour Multifunctional System

Precise. Productive. Professional.

A True Colour-on-Demand Powerhouse
 A High-Speed Colour MFP with Full-Fledged
Functionality to Meet Various Light Production Needs
Sharp’s flagship MX-7500N/6500N is a colour print-on-demand powerhouse built for full-scale light
production of professional documents. A variety of automatic adjustment functions enable this MFP to
maintain exceptional print quality on a par with commercial printing. A powerful external Fiery® Colour Print
Server with Command WorkStation® software is available for colour-critical environments that require precise
management of print jobs. The software can be operated intuitively through the MFP’s user-friendly
15.4-inch colour LCD touchscreen panel—a unique Sharp specialty.
The ultra-versatile MX-7500N/6500N not only offers a full suite of paper-feed and finishing options, it
also handles a variety of paper types and paper thicknesses up to 300 g/m2. With selected options, total
paper capacity can be boosted all the way to 13,500 sheets. On top of that, users can take advantage of
flexible document system configurations that cater precisely to their varying needs. Powerful, fast, and
highly configurable, this is one MFP that delivers quality on demand.

Flexibility in Paper Handling and Finishing Options

Versatile Paper Handling

The MX-7500N/6500N accommodates a wide variety of sizes, weights, and types of paper, expanding the range of possible printing applications.

• Paper Sizes: The MX-7500N/6500N supports an extensive range of standard paper sizes from A5 to
SRA3/A3W (5 1/2" × 8 1/2" to 13" × 19"), along with custom paper sizes up to 330 × 488 mm (13" ×
19.2"). Thanks to its printable area of 319 × 480 mm, this MFP enables full-bleed printing of an A3
image with crop marks or two A4 images with crop marks.
• Paper Weights: The MX-7500N/6500N handles paper as thin as 55 g/m2 and as thick as 300 g/m2. A3 size
Duplexing is possible for paper ranging from 60 g/m2 to 300 g/m2.
