Industrial Screen Protectors 20% Off Plus Get 50 Free!

| By Cameron McLean

Reduce screen protection costs without sacrificing quality or performance.

Photodon is offering additional discounts on screen protectors with soot on the liner and no front liner removal sticker. Order 500 pieces of a single design and film type, and you'll receive 20% off your order plus 50 extra pieces at no charge.

Clear and matte options are available. Contact [email protected] to place your order.

Photodon's Touche™ brand retail-grade screen protectors are individually cleaned, inspected, and can include an optional liner removal sticker for convenient front liner removal. These stickers make liner removal easier, especially on screens with raised bezels.

All our customers care about quality, but not everyone requires retail-grade presentation. We stand behind our products whether they are cleaned after cutting or not. The soot is present on the protective liner only. Once the liner is removed, the screen protector underneath is clean and ready for installation.

If you experience any issues with our products or packaging, please send us photos and we'll work with you to resolve them as quickly as possible.

If your application requires parts that look their best upon arrival and offer the easiest possible liner removal, we recommend choosing cleaned and stickered protectors. However, if you're looking for a cost-effective solution for a large deployment, this promotion offers an excellent value.

If you need 500 custom-fit screen protectors at a great price, this is the deal for you.

Benefits of Photodon's Screen Protectors for Mobile Computers

Mobile computers come in all shapes and sizes. They can be handheld, wearable, drone-mounted, or vehicle-mounted. They also optimize daily operations for the commercial, logistical, manufacturing, and healthcare industries. Designated mobile computers are generally more robust and purpose-built than a standard smartphone. They scan barcodes and stay in communication with your team while on the job.  They keep track of everything from parcels to medications, or take photos or videos for record on your ERP software.

Indoor-Outdoor Shade Monitor Hoods: From Tradeshows to Shop Floors

| By Jolynn Paige

Grease-, water-, and dirt-resistant, these indoor-outdoor hoods are made specifically for your device. 

Using a digital device of any size in brightlylit environment can be tricky because the glare makes it difficult to see the screen, right?  Plus, bright light and reflections can make the eyes hurt and cause headaches.  Not only that, but greasy hands or dirty work gloves do not play well with fussy materials.  Think waitress and waiter stations at an outdoor restaurant, or industrial monitors mounted on a shop wall.

Traverse City, MI, Small Biz Makes Face Shields To Help Save Lives

| By Jolynn Paige

When owner Don Basch listened to Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer address citizens on March 23, 2020, he, along with everyone else in the state, heard the news that all non-essential businesses were ordered to close their doors until at least April 13th.  That night, Don went home, got on the internet, and researched what he could do to help protect the medical and emergency responder professionals in his Traverse City community.

“I found a local group that shared Google doc showing PPE items that hospitals are needing to help keep doctors and nurses protected.  One of the items was face shields with a suggested design.”  Don went to the Photodon shop and got to work making a shield using some materials he had in stock. After tinkering with the shield pattern, he constructed the first shield.  He also ordered some additional supplies needed to make the shields.

“We now have supplies on hand to make about 1,500 shields,” Don said.  Photodon plans to provide as many shields as they can and currently have face shields ready to deliver.  “We just want to do what we can to help with what we are capable of doing,” Don said.

Photodon's screen protectors can be cleaned with disinfectants and bleach.

Clean Photodon Screen Protectors with Bleach and Sanitizers

| By Jolynn Paige

What Hospitals Need to Know About Our Products  

Now that the coronavirus has arrived, electronic devices are being cleaned regularly, especially ones used in medical facilities.  To ensure these devices are cleaned properly, hospital-grade type disinfectants are being used directly on expensive digital screens which, if not protected, can cause damage to the screen.  Our screen protectors hold up to harsh chemicals and can save your device screen’s life.  Below you’ll see what we did to prove this.  

  
The Test – HSC and MXH Screen Protectors and Anti-Bacterial Cleaning Solutions: 

Our Photodon lab technicians created a bleach test to see how our HSC and MXH screen protector materials would hold up to being regularly cleaned with hospital-grade Clorox Bleach Germicidal Wipes. 

We used a standard office monitor and wiped down the screens two times daily with the bleach wipes for a period of 30 days.  The results were clear:  the screen protectors' clarity and protection were not compromised, which means the screen itself was not either! 


Features and Specifications of Photodon’s HSC and MXH Screen Protectors: 

Our screen protectors can be part of your company’s cost-reduction program by avoiding the need to replace expensive screens, whether it be for medical equipment screens that can be damaged by regular and necessary cleaning requirements especially at this time, to manufacturing-type devices, laptops, monitors, TVs, or any other device screen. 

Our HSC and MXH Materials: 

  • Are resistant to yellowing, even when cleaned with harsh chemicals 
  • Are touchscreen-compatible 
  • Are an affordable solution 
  • Are great protection for your screen and offer different finishes.  HSC is a clear, glass-like option, where MXH offers an anti-glare, matte finish 
  • Protect your devices from scratches and blunt force impact 
  • Withstand daily wipe-downs with hospital-grade disinfectants, including bleach wipes 
  • Can be custom-cut for any device (up to 40.5” tall) 
  • Are easily removable with no residue left on the screen 
  • Come with installation kits and detailed instructions for an easier installation 

Photodon’s Advice: 

Replace the screen protector – not the screen. 

While we have not tested our other materials, we believe that our other screen protector material types would respond the same way if tested with the bleach wipes. Should chemicals degrade the PET material over time, it can be inexpensively replaced, while the same cannot be said of replacing the actual device screen. 

The Bottom Line: 

Touchscreen use is increasing in medical-type environments from patients using equipment to check in and check out, to doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and other staff.  It pleases us to know that we can provide a high-quality, affordable option for protecting these heavily used and expensive devices. We specialize in custom solutions, and we offer 11 screen protector materials and 3 privacy filter materials. We have quick turn-around times and will work with you to get you what you need when you need it!

Fascinating Features of Microfiber Cloths

| By Mandy Peterson

What is a Microfiber Cloth?

The word "microfiber," as you can imagine, means small fiber.  How small you ask?  I could go on and on using words such as denier, decitex, and micrometers, but who really knows THOSE words?  So instead of making you go to the web (unless you're smarter than me), I’ll put it in layman’s terms:  Most microfibers are about 1/5 of the diameter of a human hair.  These synthetic microfibers are most commonly made from polyester and polyamide.
