Abstract
A customizable notebook panel (CNP) manufactured with a photo image is to be attached to a surface of a computer system using a white color adhesive. To prevent streaks and bubbles from being visible on the CNP, a filler layer is used in between the CNP and the surface. Other techniques to reduce the visibility of the streaks and bubbles may include increasing the thickness of the adhesive layer and using inks that are opaque.
