DTG printing through Torrance's year
Summer stays moderate, with August averaging a high of 78°F, so heavyweight and lightweight ring-spun tees both work. December averages a high of only 66°F, so add hoodies, choosing cotton-rich ones over a 50/50 for truer DTG color. Six or more months a year get under half an inch of rain, so the blank should suit long sunny stretches: a white or pastel tee stays cool and prints with little or no white ink.
