3.0 out of 5 stars Good product, deceptive pricing, December 9, 2000

By	Gary P J (City of Lost Angels, California) - See all my reviews

The Sharp Facsimile UX-355L I purchased for an astonishing ($) after rebates at .... Its features, including percentage copying, one-button dialing, "smart ring" recognition, plain paper, were impressive and it faxed perfectly, while automatically configuring itself to dial the least expensive long-distance service. For what it can do, I'd give this machine five stars. BUT, when I figured out the cost per page to receive faxes (MSRP roughly 20-25 cents per page), I almost brought it back to the store. Then I considered two facts: 1. I fax much more material than I receive (which doesn't involve the ribbon); and 2. I can receive faxes on my computer and print them out on my laserjet printer instead. So, for me it's a good deal. Regarding the price-gouging, write Sharp to complain! And tell them you intend to purchase generic ribbons. But hunt for bargains, like AMAZON.COM, which currently has the UX-3CR RIBBON for ($), dropping the receiving-page cost to 15 cents, still steep if you receive a lot of facsimiles via the machine. Unfortunately, nearly all the newer machines I looked at engage this gouging practice. Due to Sharp's deceptive techniques, I should give it 0 stars; but capitalist competition often encourages the worst decision-making. That's a good enough reason to be understanding, but hardly an excuse though. Best bet: If you have an older machine (sturdily made with strong metal components) that uses a generic black inkjet cartridge, keep it in shape and it costs next to nothing to receive pages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sharp UX-3CR Imaging Film for Sharp UX-300 Plain Paper Fax, January 14, 2000

By	mdudley (Madison, Virginia) - See all my reviews

Awkward to load; $.25 per copy or page ($.20 at Amazon's price) since each roll of imaging film is only good for about 100 pages; However, the machine is cheap ($80. with rebate) and has good features, although it lacks an answering machine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissatisfied!, August 15, 2000

By	Denish Mandalia (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews

I would not recommend this machine to anybody. The problem lies in the minimal amount of output you get for each roll of film.

I have spent more than twice what I invested in the machine on the film.

This is a classic example of planned obscelescence. They hook you into the product with an attractive price and then commit highway robbery on the price of the refill.

Best bet... don't buy it. You are better off spending a little more up front in order to get a better output from your machine.
