Types of Printed Screen Protectors
A printed screen protector is a custom-made screen protector that has been personalized with a specific design to suit its user preferences. There are several types of printed screen protectors, but the main three types are tempered glass, PET film, and TPU film.
- Tempered glass printed screen protectors: The printed screen protector made out of tempered glass is made of chemically processed glass that is durable and resistant even to heavy-impact bullets. It goes through several chemical and physical treatments, including heating and cooling processes, which raise its strength to resist punishing blows. The protector is usually about 0.4 to 0.7 mm thick and has reliable shatter resistance. In case it breaks, the shattered pieces do not fall off but instead stick onto one another. Tempered glass screen protectors are highly elastic, making them resistant to scratches and dents. It does not have anti-glare properties like other materials, and for this reason, tempered glass printed screen protectors have a very clear and transparent visual. The protector is user-friendly, thus, can be installed and removed without needing any professional help. Despite its many advantages, the tempered glass printed protector is more costly than the other types of protectors.
- PET film printed screen protectors: Screen protectors made out of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. The thermoplastic polymer known as PET is thin yet resilient. It consists of a single layer of plastic that is laminated and has a hardness rating of 3H. The protector is considered light and thin (around 0.1 mm) and therefore highly responsive to touch. It has excellent versatility since it can easily bend to fit the phone's contours and operate well on different displays. As a result of the degree to which it has been polished, it has good transparency. However, it is not suitable for screens with a significant amount of curvature. The effectiveness of impact protection is also lower compared to services made from other materials. Of all three types of printed screen protectors, PET has the highest clarity. Because of its low cost and reasonable quality, this sort of protector is more economical.
- TPU film printed screen protectors: The printed screen protector made out of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film is unique. The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material makes the guards soft, flexible, and resilient. These screen protectors are soft and flexible due to the rubber and plastic qualities of the TPU material. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and polyurethane (PU) are blended together to produce TPU material, combining the best qualities of both components. As a result, TPU material is tough, long-lasting, and extensible. The protector can cover the whole device and even obtainable edges thanks to its flexibility. With its self-healing properties, minor scratches on TPU film can disappear with time. Although this type of printed screen protector takes longer to install, the end result is bubble-free and extremely clear. TPU protects against scratches, dents, and minor collisions and retains the display's natural look.
Features and functions of printed screen protectors
The functions of printed screen protectors are to protect mobile devices from scratches and to provide some aesthetic appeal. Because of this, they come with a wide range of functions and features. Some important features are as follows:

- Bubble-free installation: Many printed screen protectors have self-healing properties. Minor bumps and scratches can disappear over time due to special polymer chemical reactions. The screen protector's durability will thus be maintained for a longer period of time.
- Full coverage design: Printed screen protectors offer full coverage design, which consists of edge-to-edge and full-screen coverage. This feature shields the entire screen and provides additional protection for the device's edges and corners.
- Customizability: This feature allows users to customize the design, color, and finishing of the screen protector to suit their preferences and personalities.
