Sharp MX-3501 Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Sharp MX-3501, which uses the Sharp MX-27GT toner cartridge series. Designed as a high-volume commercial A3 colour laser printer, this model relies on a four-toner setup. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Oct 2023. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Routine black document runs deplete the MX-27GT-BA black cartridge faster than colour toners like the MX-27GT-CA, so ordering complete set bundles helps prevent sudden workflow halts.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Standardised ISO/IEC 19798 testing governs toner output ratings for the MX-27GT series, assuming 5% page coverage. High-volume offices printing dense graphics or full-page coverage will experience faster toner depletion than standard general text printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX-27GT-BA | Standard | Black | 18,000 | $0.002 |
| MX-27GT-CA | Standard | Cyan | 15,000 | $0.004 |

Managing cartridge replacements and office orders
If your office primarily produces monochrome reports and invoices, stocking extra MX-27GT-BA black cartridges ensures continuous operation while colour units (MX-27GT-CA, MX-27GT-MA, MX-27GT-YA) deplete at a lower rate. Ordering complete toner bundle packs reduces unit costs and minimises freight overheads. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our Australian warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
To avoid unexpected workflow halts in high-volume environments, keep a replacement MX-27GT-BA black toner on hand, as commercial document printing depletes black toner significantly faster than cyan, magenta, or yellow cartridges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does heavy graphics printing impact the page yield of MX-27GT colour toners?
Standard page yields are calculated at 5% coverage under ISO/IEC 19798 testing. If your office prints full-page colour diagrams, marketing materials, or heavy graphics, actual page output per cartridge will be lower than rated capacity because toner density per page is significantly higher.
Can I replace individual MX-27GT cartridges as they run out, or do all four colours need to be changed together?
You can replace each MX-27GT toner cartridge individually when its microchip indicates it is empty. The printer will continue operating as long as remaining cartridges have adequate toner levels.
Why does the MX-27GT-BA black cartridge have a higher rated yield than the colour cartridges?
Commercial document printing relies overwhelmingly on black text for routine paperwork, reports, and invoices. The MX-27GT-BA is filled with a higher toner volume (18,000 pages) compared to the colour cartridges (15,000 pages) to balance replacement intervals across high-volume workflows.
