Best Duplex Printers for Double-Sided Printing

Duplex refers to a printer's ability to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Duplex printing reduces paper consumption, cuts costs, and produces more professional, book-style documents. Most modern Sharp MFPs and laser printers in our lineup include duplex functionality as a standard or optional feature depending on the model.

Automatic duplex printing means the printer flips the paper internally to print on the second side without requiring the user to manually reinsert the page. This is a built-in hardware feature found in Sharp MFPs and laser printers, saving time, reducing paper waste, and streamlining high-volume office document production.

Sharp multifunction printers, production printers, and many laser printer models distributed by Southern Office Machines feature automatic duplex printing as standard equipment. This includes color and black & white MFPs ranging from general office use to high-speed 25-70 pages-per-minute color production printers used in corporate, government, and healthcare settings.
