Excellence in Action
Your reputation rests on every job /This is Why the Sharp
Pro Series lets you get it right first time.
The MX-7500N and the MX-6500N Pro Series colour
production printing systems offer exceptional productivity,
professional features and world-class image quality at speeds
of up to 75 ppm.
Designed for busy in-plant and on-demand workflow
environments, these new models combine a versatile, modular
design with a wide range of supported media and powerful
output capabilities that can help your business produce more
jobs in-house and improve profitability.
Class-leading innovation
Best-in-class paper feeding technology for versatile media
handling, high input capacity and a unique ability to print right
to the edge of land-scape format documents, helps operators
to quickly create high quality, full bleed booklets in-line.
Plus, if you add the latest EFI Fiery controller you can operate
it directly from the integrated 15.4” colour LCD touch screen.
That means that you won’t need to sacrifice space by adding a
dedicated monitor or special furniture.
Combined with extensive in-line finishing options and
low maintenance operation, the Pro Series deliver greater
versatility, advanced productivity, professional workflows and
precise colour control - capabilities that are usually found only
in much more expensive machines.
High quality colour processing
1200 x 1200 dpi with 8-bit processing ensures exceptionally
fine screening, smooth shades and colour gradients, as well as
crystal-clear text and graphics.
Colour Consistency System
Sharp’s Colour Consistency System combines Micro-fine Toner
Technology with advanced Developer Refresh Technology
and next generation Image Process Control. This synergy of
processes helps ensure colour output is at peak performance
page-after-page and job-after-job.

Advanced Feeding and Finishing Options
Every day brings new challenges /This is Why we give
you more options.
An impressive range of paper input and document finishing
options lets you take on a huge variety of jobs. What’s more,
the modular design means that the configuration you specify
today can be easily upgraded if your needs change in the
future.
The standard paper supply, for example, starts at 3,100 sheets
but this can easily be expanded right the way up to 13,500
sheets. Not only does that give you longer uninterrupted
printing for maximum productivity, but you can load the trays
with a wide variety of media.
There are up to three stacker options, allowing up to 14,000
sheets (A4) or 12,000 sheets (SRA3) for hours of uninterrupted
printing. An efficient Curl Correction Unit delivers flat output
for trouble-free processing through the finishing devices.
From B5 through to 13” x 19.2” (330.2mm x 487.7mm), from
60 to 300 gsm, and on coated, uncoated and textured stock:
it all gets fed smoothly and reliably from up to four triple
air-fed large capacity trays. What’s more, you can replenish the
paper supply without interrupting the print run.
Extensive finishing options
The advanced media handling capabilities of the Pro Series are
supported by one of the industry’s widest range of finishing
options to let you take on the greatest variety of jobs.
A full range of automated finishing options is complemented
by the ability to add the industry-leading GBC SmartPunch
inline punching system and the Plockmatic 30-sheet
professional booklet making unit with trimming and square
fold options.
Other in-line options include sorting, collating, 100-sheet
stapling and multi position hole-punching, 20-sheet booklet-
making with optional trimming, a post-process inserter, plus
half, Z, C, engineering and double parallel folding.
It all adds up to total productivity and professional output for
the best possible return on investment.

Easy Colour Control
Colour control shouldn’t be difficult /This is Why we
made it easy.
Regardless of whether you’re running a commercial print-
for-pay business or an in-house corporate reprographics
department there’s a configuration to suit your needs.
If you’re looking for a powerful production-class printing
system that can be operated without specialist skills, choose
an MX-7500N or MX-6500N with our integral print controller.
Easily mastered controls
As well as entry-level colour management and simplified print
job programming, you’ll benefit from easy-to-master colour
management tools and controls for rendering intents, output
profiles, screening and CMYK correction.
Although it’s easy to use, it’s extremely capable. Advanced
system architecture is supported by 5GB memory and a 1TB
HDD. A fast RIP lets you print large and complex documents
quickly and with excellent colour accuracy. And you get
genuine Adobe PS3 to support advanced graphic applications
Advanced colour control features include auto trapping,
standard and custom ICC profiles, RGB to CMYK colour
conversion controls. And it’s easy for anyone to adjust RGB
colour balance as well as image brightness, contrast and
saturation.
Or perhaps you need the precise control and advanced
workflow capabilities of the optional EFI Fiery controller and
Command WorkStation software. In either case, look no
further.

High Performance Colour
Sometimes, you need the ultimate performance
/This is Why we offer the latest EFI Fiery controller.
Fiery servers are without a doubt the digital printing industry’s
de facto standard. Powerful processing technology, deeply
integrated with Adobe technology and Fiery SmartRIP, makes
light work of complex jobs and heavy workloads.
Because Fiery servers can spool, RIP and print simultaneously,
the printing system can run at its full rated speed. Productivity
is enhanced and jobs are turned around faster than ever.
Precise, consistent colour
Fiery colour management tools for colour matching, profiling,
preflight and troubleshooting guarantee the best colour
®
consistency and accuracy. All Fiery servers are PANTONE
calibrated to guarantee the best match for all PANTONE
colour libraries.
Winner of multiple awards, Fiery Command WorkStation
makes it easy for local and remote Mac and PC clients to
manage Fiery servers, do colour management, submit jobs,
prepare and preview jobs before printing, and more. The
15.4” touch screen gives you multi-touch finer-swipe control
of the optional Fiery server.
Effortless variable data printing
Fiery servers provide fast job processing for variable data
printing (VDP). Compatible with all VDP protocols, languages
and applications, they let you work with the authoring tool of
your choice to create static and variable elements.
Expert tools
Fiery servers come with a wide range of workflow and
colour management software tools. Together, Fiery Spot-
On™, Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition and Fiery
Colour Profiler Suite provide a sophisticated, scalable solution
that comes with all the standard functionality needed for
production printing, graphics and corporate environments.

Superior Productivity
We understand professional print /This is Why we
designed the Pro Series to take the pressure off.
We designed the MX-7500N and MX-6500N to handle the
widest possible range of jobs in the greatest variety of print
environments.
Whichever one you choose, you can be sure of investing
in a production-class colour printing system that has the
performance features, versatility and ease of use you need to
satisfy your most demanding requirements.
Maximum uptime
No one likes interruptions - they’re expensive and disruptive.
So you’ll be reassured to know you can top up the toner and
paper supplies of the Pro Series without pausing the print run.
The paper supply which can be expanded right the way up to
13,500 A4 sheets (or 10,500 SRA3 sheets) from up to 9 pick
points, supports media up to 300 gsm even when duplexing,
due to Sharp’s advanced air-feed technology.
Normally only found on larger production devices and
printing presses, the triple-air feed system directs air flow with
precision accuracy to ensure proper paper handling. Reliable
input combined with large capacity output gives you hours of
continuous printing.
An on board paper catalogue stores up to 1000 media profiles
to help improve productivity by streamlining job set-up as well
as maintaining optimum output quality.
Double-sided scanning (as fast as 150 impressions per minute)
is easy and efficient, and, thanks to a 150-sheet Duplex Single
Pass Feeder, you can store documents, jobs and applications
on the 1TB internal hard drive.

Do More. Use Less.
We believe in environmental responsibility /This is Why
we’re working to consume fewer natural resources.
Supporting your environmental objectives
Clearly, all production-class printing systems are designed
for high volume work. But that doesn’t mean they have to
consume unreasonable amounts of natural resources. Like
all Sharp printing systems, the MX-7500N and MX-6500N
have been designed and engineered to be as environmentally
friendly as possible.
LED lights in the scanner and fast warm up times save time
and money. Plus, a special Eco Scan Mode switches the fuser
off whenever appropriate.
The Pro Series colour document systems use Sharp’s
advanced micro-fine toner technology, which offers a lower
consumption rate and produces less waste than conventional
toners, resulting in longer replacement intervals.
Sharp supplies are packaged using fully recyclable materials.
Long-life consumable parts help minimise service intervals
and downtime, resulting in lower operation costs. With two
different energy saving modes, power can be reduced or shut
off at set intervals. All Sharp document systems are ENERGY
®
certified.
