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.
