LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. - Feb. 18, 2026 - Epson today announced it will exhibit at the 45^th annual Natural Products Expo West event, located at the Anaheim Convention Center from March 4-6. In its booth (#2906), Epson will showcase its ColorWorks^® on-demand color label printer portfolio, demonstrating how organic and natural brands can stay agile, look premium, be cost-effective, and support sustainability goals in labeling and packaging operations.
