DTG printing through Palmdale's year
Across 113 days a year at 90°F or above, shirts get washed after most wears; inside out and cold keeps DTG color. Hoodie weather is short, just December to February, when average highs dip under 65°F; pick cotton-face fleece and keep art above the pocket. On about 36 days a year at 100°F or above, a lightweight ring-spun tee runs cooler than a heavyweight and still holds fine detail. Around 54 nights a year at 32°F or below make a cotton crewneck a useful second blank; DTG prints best when cotton is the majority fiber.
