With professional color consistency and precise front-to-back registration, the RICOH Pro C5400S Series offers the powerful production print quality of higher-volume presses in a more compact and versatile design, allowing businesses such as marketing agencies to outsource less work, and commercial printers to keep shorter-run print jobs from tying up larger production systems.

Building on the strengths of its predecessors, the RICOH Pro C5300S and RICOH Pro C5310S, the RICOH Pro C5400S Series inherits key features, such as high-speed output and excellent paper handling while delivering significant improvements in core performance. The warm-up time has been drastically reduced from 120 seconds to 26 seconds* 1 for the Pro C5410S, and 30 seconds* 1 for the Pro C5400S, greatly boosting user productivity. The scanning* 3 speed has also increased, and the adoption of capacitive touch significantly enhances usability and response of the 10.1" Smart Operation Panel. Additionally, the Series features an industry-first* 2 staple-less binding option for the SR5130 and SR5140 finishers that uses water to moisten and press pages together, enabling staple-less binding up to 16 sheets* 4 (80 gsm/20lb bond), reducing injury and waste from staples, and making it easier to shred and recycle documents.
With high-image quality, versatile media handling capabilities, and print speeds up to 80 ppm, the RICOH Pro C5400S Series meets a wide range of promotional material applications in light-production printing, supporting customers to drive revenue growth. In-plant and franchise print shops can expand their services with greater media support for coated, specialty, and synthetic stocks up to 360 gsm, adding immediate value to their operations with a system that can serve as the center of their production environment. Moreover, expanded core specifications heighten ease of use in office settings, contributing to greater operational efficiency.
For print service providers and commercial printers, the RICOH Pro C5400S Series serves as high-quality, light-production print devices with improved image registration accuracy, achieved through refined paper feeding stability and more precise image adjustment functions. Additionally, an upgraded user interface for paper settings ensures consistent print quality, providing strong support for professional printing operations.
"The RICOH Pro C5400S Series is our latest innovation in light-production printing," said Gavin Jordan-Smith, Chief Global Sales Strategy Division and North America Sales Officer, RICOH Graphic Communications. "Designed to deliver superior color quality, efficiency, and reliability, the Series carries the heart of many of our larger sheet-fed platforms, but in a more compact configuration that enables businesses to expand their print applications and produce professional-grade materials without having to go outside of their office or shop, or impede on other systems in their production facility. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of production print technology, and this launch represents the next step in meeting the evolving needs of our customers."
The RICOH Pro C5400S Series is currently on display at IPMA 2025, June 8-12, at the Davenport Grand Hotel in Spokane, WA. Attendees can visit Ricoh's booth to learn more about the new Series, as well as Ricoh's full lineup of production and commercial print technology and solutions.

Leadership Experience 2025: Starbucks Rallies 14,000 North America Coffeehouse Leaders to Accelerate its 'Back to Starbucks' Strategy
TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - This week, Starbucks is hosting over 14,000 coffeehouse leaders from across North America at Leadership Experience 2025 (LE25) in Las Vegas—its largest leadership gathering ever and the first under chairman and CEO Brian Niccol and COO Mike Grams. "Getting 'Back to Starbucks' means refocusing on what has always set us apart — a welcoming coffeehouse where people gather, and where we serve the finest coffee, handcrafted by our skilled baristas," said Niccol. "We are bringing together our coffeehouse leaders from across North America to celebrate, empower and equip them to accelerate our transformation. The coffeehouse experience defines the Starbucks brand, and these leaders and their teams bring that experience to life for millions of customers every day." A New Era of Leadership and Customer Experience LE25 is an important milestone for Starbucks. Over three days, coffeehouse leaders will engage in immersive workshops, connect over new ways of working, hear directly from company leaders, and experience the first-ever Starbucks Global Barista Championship, celebrating craft, connection, excellence at its best. The event will accelerate Starbucks turnaround—centered on exceptional service, simplified routines, and deeper customer connections. Leaders will explore new innovations, clearer customer service standards, and a renewed focus on hospitality, including a goal of four-minute wait times – without compromising the warmth and connection that define the Starbucks Experience. "This isn't just a reset—it's a recommitment to who we are when we are at our best," said Grams. "LE25 is our moment to recommit to a culture of hospitality and excellence. We're making progress, have real momentum with our "Back to Starbucks" plan and are on the right track to turn the business around." Since launching its Back to Starbucks strategy nine months ago, customers are already feeling the difference, with welcoming spaces, more confident baristas, faster service, and the return of small but meaningful touches like ceramic mugs, handwritten notes on cups, a more consistent dress code, and a much-loved customer favourite: the condiment bar. "Our turnaround is rooted in listening—to partners and customers—and taking action on what we hear," added Grams. "We're listening and testing in the coffeehouse, and then applying our learnings to scale quickly and enhance the customer and partner experience." Leading with Partners, Winning with Customers Starbucks continues to be a leader in partner (employee) care, offering competitive pay and industry-leading benefits such as a recently launched paid parental leave top-up benefit for all eligible Canadian store partners, equity in the form of stock, $5,000 in mental health benefits for eligible partners and more. Additionally, as part of its focus on making Starbucks the best job in retail, the company has established a goal to hire 90% of retail leaders from within, fostering a culture of growth and opportunity. "We believe a great partner experience fuels the customer experience," said Grams. "We always have more work to do, but our partners are rallying behind Back to Starbucks and telling us they like what they see. When our partners feel supported, our customers notice the difference too." Coffee and Craft Take Center Stage LE25 kicks off today with Starbucks largest-ever coffee tasting, featuring a first taste of the new Starbucks 1971 Roast™, available in the U.S. and Canada this Winter. The company is also celebrating the impact of its investment in the Global Farmer Fund, supporting long-term sustainability across Origin communities. LE25 will also spotlight the first-ever Starbucks Global Barista Championship— a celebration of Starbucks baristas who embody the company's commitment to community, connection and craft. Over the three-day competition, 12 baristas from around the world will showcase their coffee passion and expertise through a variety of skills and knowledge-based competitions. "We're returning to what made us iconic: handcrafted coffee, human connection, and a relentless focus on excellence," said Niccol. "We're reigniting the soul of Starbucks, together." Giving Back in Las Vegas This week, Starbucks is demonstrating how major events can be designed with sustainability and community in mind. LE25 is powered by 100% renewable electricity sourced within 500 miles of Las Vegas. Starbucks will donate any surplus food to its FoodShare partner Three Square Food Bank, divert food waste and coffee grounds from the event to local farms, and plant 10 trees per attendee to support reforestation efforts in South American coffee-growing communities. The Starbucks Foundation will invite attendees to vote for five local Las Vegas organizations to receive grants, with an estimated $100,000 to be donated to causes like hunger relief, homelessness, youth empowerment and more. The Starbucks Foundation is also donating a $10,000 Neighborhood Grant to each Barista Championship contestant's chosen nonprofit.

Investor Demand Exceeded Acquisition Opportunities in Multi-Suite Residential Rental Property Market in Q1 2025: Morguard
MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Investors continued to exhibit strong interest in acquiring core-quality multi-suite residential rental property that were expected to generate attractive yields. However, the availability of properties for acquisition was limited, according to Morguard's 2025 Economic Outlook and Market Fundamentals First Quarter Update ("Morguard") (TSX: MRC). "The multi-suite residential rental sector's continued resilience was observed in the first quarter, amid global trade tensions," said Angela Sahi, President and Chief Operating Officer of Morguard. "Although the shifting global economic and financial landscape may further reshape the market, Canada's real estate sector is underpinned by solid fundamentals that should support it through periods of uncertainty." Multi-Suite Residential Real Estate Demand for multi-suite residential rental property acquisitions outpaced supply in the first quarter. Investors maintained strong interest in acquiring core-quality individual assets and portfolios expected to generate attractive yields. However, supply constraints continued to limit sales closings. Asking rent growth for the largest multi-suite residential rental units was the strongest in the first quarter of 2025. A combination of factors including the high cost of homeownership, persistent inflation, and economic volatility supported demand for larger rental units. These dynamics contributed to above-average asking rent growth for three-bedroom units over the past year. Looking ahead, demand and rent growth for larger units are expected to remain elevated amid intensifying economic uncertainty. Commercial Real Estate There was little change in office leasing market conditions in the first quarter of 2025, continuing the trend observed throughout 2024. The national average vacancy rate stood at 18.7% at the end of March, down 10 bps quarter-over-quarter. The national downtown vacancy rate edged down by 10 bps to 19.9% while the suburban vacancy rate was unchanged. Upward pressure on the national industrial leasing market availability rate eased in the first quarter, driven by a slowdown in new supply deliveries and a notable increase in occupancy. Overall, leasing market fundamentals are projected to moderate with availability expected to rise modestly following a temporary reprieve in the first quarter. Retail investment property sales activity ticked higher, driving an increase in quarter-over-quarter transaction volume. The uptick was largely attributed to an acquisition of 50% interest in Southgate Centre in Edmonton and 100% interest in the Oshawa Centre for a combined $585 million. Looking ahead, commercial real estate investment sales activity is expected to remain muted as investors focus on lower risk acquisitions in light of heightened uncertainty and the looming risk of a potential recession. "The Canadian real estate market is facing one of the most pivotal moments in its history as tariff threats continue to shift the global economic narrative," said Keith Reading, Senior Director, Research at Morguard. "While the current real estate landscape carries a degree of uncertainty, Canada's market is expected to exhibit a measure of resilience with new opportunities emerging on the horizon." Economic Factors The Bank of Canada continued its rate-cutting cycle in the first quarter, in consideration of the nation's relatively strong economic position at the beginning of 2025. However, as the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canada and other countries, economic uncertainty and downside growth risk increased. In its decision to lower interest rates, the Bank of Canada considered the nation's relatively strong economic position at the beginning of 2025. Notwithstanding, both economic growth and inflation are expected to face headwinds due to the ongoing impacts of global trade tensions and the imposition of U.S. tariffs, which continue to influence the broader economic landscape. Given the rising business costs and diminishing levels of confidence stemming from these trade disruptions, job growth in Canada began to moderate in the first quarter after witnessing some strengthening in late 2024. By and large, the U.S. tariff will remain a key driver of market volatility in the near term. Released today by Morguard, the 2025 Canadian Economic Outlook and Market Fundamentals First Quarter Update provides a detailed analysis of the real estate investment trends and outlook to watch in Canada. The full report is available at Investors maintained strong interest in multi-suite residential acquisition opportunities. Canada's office leasing market stabilized in the first quarter of 2025, in keeping largely with the previous year's trend. Retail investment transaction volume increased The country entered 2025 in a relatively strong economic position while the Bank of Canada reiterated that monetary policy would have limited influence on the effects of a global trade war.
