- Test transmission with the actual source behind the black cloth; dense fabric is not automatically a complete blackout.
- Keep the cloth well away from hot lampheads, flues, heaters, and exposed electrical connections.

- Check the camera for lint, sheen, and folds; black fabric can become visible when it catches a grazing light.
