DTG printing through Irvine's year
With 35 days a year at 90°F or above, pale cotton tees stay coolest and can often print without a white underbase. December nights average a low of 43°F, so a cotton-face hoodie is a sensible second blank, with art clear of the pocket. February brings about 3.4 inches of rain, so give an outdoor event that month a backup date; DTG reprints without new screens.
