Sharp Copiers and Printers
Axia Office has been a Sharp dealer for over 25 years and recommend them over other brands because of their reliability, ease of use, quality and continued innovation.
In 2016, Sharp Corporation was acquired by Foxconn, the 4th largest tech company in the world. With this backing, there is no doubt they will continue to exceed the technology of their competitors in the years to come.

Sharp consistently wins awards from BLI Buyers Lab - an independent industry laboratory test of all makes and models. They exceed in ease of use, reliability and quality.
Highly Reliable
The MX line has the same chassis and parts across all models, allowing for our technicians to carry a ‘warehouse’ of all parts required in their car.
Enhanced Native Functions
The MX line features a number of native features often optional extras with other brands, including follow me print, link to cloud services and document OCR capability turning your scans into editable files.
#1 Sharp Dealer in Sydney
Axia Office has been a Sharp dealership for 25 years and the #1 Sharp dealer in Sydney for over 15 years. Most of our staff have been with us for than 10 years. They are therefore very familiar with all aspects of Sharp Corporation and their range of multifunction photocopiers and printer products.
Axia Office regularly negotiates bulk purchases of Sharp photocopiers and toner at prices that gives us a competitive edge.
Axia Office has continued to support Sharp as a brand for so long because they are highly reliable and very efficient to service, meaning down time of machines is very low. Although Sharp is not the best known photocopier brand, it regularly wins industry awards and having serviced them in the field for 25 years we know they are the #1 photocopier choice.
Sharp Copier and Printer Leasing
Photocopier leases and rentals are historically on the preferred option for most businesses when sourcing new multifunction print equipment. Lease and rental finance options require no capital outlay to the business, retaining cash to invest elsewhere in the business.
For example, if a new colour photocopier costs $10,000, it is more effective for a business to pay for this over time, at let’s say $250/month, making the $10,000 c available to invest in marketing, sales or improving on other business areas, which will lead to the company growing its profits.
Financing photocopiers is also more beneficial than purchasing due to the rapid advancement of technology. A photocopier may be leased for up to 5 years, however new technology may be out in 3 years, in which case early upgrades are often available at no additional cost. Businesses who purchase equipment, tend to hold on to them for too long and miss out on technological advancements which could be making their business more efficient and thus more profitable.
Any SMB to larger companies benefits from this financing process. The more a business needs in terms of printer or photocopier requirements (amount of machines, speeds, functionality etc.) the more the capital outlay would be and therefore the more benefit there would be from reinvesting that cost in the business and leasing or renting over a period of time.
Axia Office has a number or other finance options , which you can read more about below.

Sharp Service and Support
Sharp photocopiers and printers win awards for their reliability, however they are also very efficient to service. Over the years Sharp have remained consistent in the internal engineering of their devices, keeping the same chassis of the machine across all models of each series released. This means that most of the parts within a 30 page per minute device would be the same for a 60 page per minute device, allowing for our technicians to carry a full range of parts in their cars. Because of this, breakdown services are nearly always fixed on the first visit without parts needing to be ordered.
Axia Office services all Sharp photocopiers and printers under a preventative maintenance schedule, which ensures high quality prints and copies throughout its effective life and reduces equipment downtime. At each maintenance interval, our service technicians complete all checks and replace all parts in accordance with the manufacturer’s service manual, thereby addressing problems before they occur.
Our servicing of the equipment ensures all our Sharp equipment has a 5-year warranty. We also remotely track usage and toner levels, sending toner before it is required.
