Built for the office where the printer never gets a break.
Some offices print all day. Marketing teams pushing proofs. Real estate offices running disclosure packets. Medical practices printing chart copies. Schools cranking through handouts. Law firms producing case files by the box.
When that is your reality, you do not need a copier. You need a workhorse.
The Sharp BP-71C55 and BP-71C65 are the two highest-volume models in Sharp’s Advanced Series. They run 55 or 65 pages a minute, scan stacks of paper in seconds, and stand up to the daily grind without flinching. We sell and lease them to busy offices that have outgrown the machines they bought five years ago.
When your copier becomes the bottleneck
There is a moment every growing office hits where the copier stops being a tool and starts being the problem.
It usually shows up like this:
A line forms at the machine. Two or three people stand around waiting on the same job. Real money is sitting idle while the printer slowly catches up.
Big jobs become a project. A 200-page proposal. A pitch deck for tomorrow’s meeting. The copier should knock these out in minutes. Yours takes a coffee break and asks you to refill the paper twice.
Service calls feel routine. You know the technician by name. The machine is down more than it should be, and every visit takes a chunk out of your week.
Volume bills surprise you. You signed for one tier and you keep printing into the next one. Or your service plan does not match how you actually use the machine. Either way, you are paying for the wrong thing.
If you are nodding along, the BP-71C55 or 71C65 was built for exactly this. Not a step up. A jump.
Why we recommend the BP-71C55 and 71C65
We sell and service many brands. We pick this pair when a customer needs serious throughput.
Built to handle real volume
Both models share a sturdier build than the lower speeds in the same family. Larger power supply (20 amp circuit, not 15), higher rated duty, and double feed detection comes standard instead of being an add-on. Translation: this machine expects to work hard.
Scanning that keeps up with you
The 300-sheet feeder reads both sides of a stack in one pass at up to 300 images per minute. Double feed detection catches the moment two sheets stick together so you do not end up with a missing page in the middle of a 50-page contract. AI-assisted scanning straightens crooked pages and picks the right file format on the fly.
A screen your team will actually use
The 10.1-inch touchscreen tilts and feels like a tablet. Easy Modes hide the deep menus for everyday tasks. A pull-out keyboard slides out from the front so addresses and subject lines do not turn into thumb-typing.
Real Microsoft 365 support
Sign in with Entra ID. Print through Universal Print. Send scans straight to Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint. Drop in the Sharp Print Support App for driverless printing. If your IT team has been wrestling with a print server, this is the part they are going to like most.
Security that keeps up with modern threats
The machine checks its own software at startup and can self-heal if it finds anything tampered with. Firmware updates push automatically. Real-time intrusion detection blocks weird connection attempts. Drive data is encrypted. There is also an optional Bitdefender antivirus kit and an optional Data Security Kit for offices that handle truly sensitive material (HIPAA, financial, legal, government).
Sustainability that matters at scale
When you print at this volume, energy and waste matter more, not less. About half the plastic in these machines is recycled. They earn ENERGY STAR 3.2 and run among the lowest standby power draws in their class. Sharp also runs a free toner recycling program your office can plug right into.
Which one is right for you?
If you are deciding between the two, here is how we usually steer customers:
BP-71C55 (55 pages per minute)
Good fit for: busy mid-size offices, growing departments, professional firms that print steadily through the day, and anyone whose current copier feels just a bit too slow.
Pick this one if: you have 30 to 60 regular users, your monthly volume is in the high thousands of pages, and you want serious speed without paying for the absolute top of the line.
BP-71C65 (65 pages per minute)
Good fit for: high-volume offices, marketing and creative teams, large practices, schools, and shops where the copier feels like a department of its own.
Pick this one if: you have 50+ regular users, you produce big documents on tight deadlines, color quality matters for client-facing work, or you simply want the fastest model in the lineup so the printer never holds anyone up again.
If you are not sure which one fits, that is fine. Tell us how many people use your current copier and roughly how much you print in a month. We will steer you to the right model and quote both so you can compare side by side.
What is included, and what you can add
Both models are complete, working copiers on day one. Most high-volume offices add a couple of options to fit their workflow. Here is what comes standard and what we usually layer on.
Comes standard on both
- 300-sheet two-sided document feeder with double feed detection (an upgrade over the 71C31/36/45 family, where this is optional)
- One 550-sheet paper drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass tray
- 10.1-inch tilting touchscreen
- Pull-out keyboard
- 256 GB solid state drive
- Ethernet and front USB port
- PCL 6 and Adobe PostScript 3 printing
- Built-in connections to Teams, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, and Gmail
- Walk-up motion sensor
- Black and color toner and developer
- AI-assisted scanning, BIOS integrity check, intrusion detection, and TPM 2.0
Options worth considering at this volume
- Wireless LAN adapter with Bluetooth (optional on this series)
- Larger paper drawers or split tandem drawers so you reload less often
- 3,000-sheet large capacity cassette for the heaviest volume
- 3K stacking saddle-stitch finisher if you produce booklets, programs, or reports
- 3-hole punch unit
- Inner folding unit for c-fold, z-fold, half-fold, and accordion-fold mailers
- Fax expansion kit if you still need a fax line
- 512 GB solid state drive for heavy job storage and retained jobs
- Bitdefender antivirus for an extra layer of security
- Data Security Kit for offices that need HCD cPP v1.0e Common Criteria compliance
You do not need everything on this list. A high-volume office typically picks three or four. We will help you sort out which ones make sense.
Lease it, buy it, or let us help you decide
At this volume, lease versus buy gets more interesting. The numbers matter more, and the right structure depends on how you use the machine.
Why most high-volume offices lease
Predictable monthly cost. Volume-heavy machines wear faster, and a lease bundles service into a single number. No surprise repair bills.
Service is included. Toner, parts, and on-site service come with the agreement. When something breaks, we fix it. No separate invoice for the technician’s drive time.
You stay current. A copier you buy outright in 2026 will be old in 2031. Office tech moves. Leasing lets you upgrade when the machine no longer fits.
It frees up cash. A 65 ppm color machine is a real capital outlay. Leasing keeps that money working in your business: payroll, growth, inventory, whatever you need it for.
It is tax-friendly for most businesses. Lease payments usually run as an operating expense. Talk to your accountant for what fits your situation.
When buying makes sense
If your volume is steady, your budget supports a one-time purchase, and you want to own the machine outright, buying can be the right call. We can quote both side by side and walk you through the math.
How working with Novatech goes
1. We talk for fifteen minutes. Tell us what you print, how much, and what your current copier gets wrong. No sales script.
2. We quote you straight. You get a clear price for lease or purchase. Service and supplies are spelled out. No fine print games.
3. We deliver and set it up. Our team brings the machine, sets it up on your network, and trains your staff. You are running the same day.
4. We stick around. Service calls, toner shipments, questions from your office manager. You call us, a real person answers. That is the whole pitch.
Two paths from here
Stay with what you have. Keep watching the line form at the machine. Keep paying for service calls that take days. Keep losing time you cannot get back.
Or let us send you a real quote. See the numbers. Compare them to what you already spend. Then decide.
Most of our customers tell us they wish they had switched sooner.
