Sharp UX-B700 Large-Capacity Business Inkjet Fax Machine

I contact Sharp regarding this problem but was told that the warranty is only for 15 days.

Based on my experience, it is an expensive machine to keep because it is costing me 70 to 80 cents per fax page.

The functionality of the fax machine is fine. It may be adequate for the very occasional user. However, I only get 150 to 200 page yield in the ink save mode. The replacement cartridges are outrageously expensive and you are forced to use OEMs. I've had this unit less than a year and have spent much more on carts than I did on the machine. This machine is headed for the garage sale. If someone offered you one for free, just say no.


The most expensive way to receive faxes I know of.   March 30, 2004

Pros:
Reasonably fast
Quiet
No jams

Cons:
Goes through ink at an astonishing rate and the tiny cartridges are $41.79 at the local office super store!

I bought this fax for my home office. It receives relatively light use, so you can imagine my shock when my wife informed me we had just used up our 3rd $40+ cartridge! That's over $120!! Great machine... Wish I could afford it.

I bought one, and it had a repeated problem with a "Printer Error". It could be reset, but I would lose all my saved and unprinted faxes in the process. I returned it for a new one, and it had the same problem. After spending an hour on the phone with a very helpful service rep, she pronounced the machine broken, and advised me to take it for repair. Nope. Returned it and went back to my old machine that doesn't hold much paper and throws documents on the floor, but it does send and receive!
