DTG printing through Riverside's year
Across 101 days a year at 90°F or above, shirts get washed after most wears; inside out and cold keeps DTG color. Fleece stays a small add-on, since even December averages a high of 67°F. Six or more dry months and 22 days a year at 100°F or more let shirts dry fast on a line, the gentlest drying for DTG. Barely 9.4 inches of rain fall a year, so skip outerwear and spend on tees and a cotton crewneck, both strong DTG blanks.
