Really?  Wow, that stinks.  I was sure that method would have solved the whole problem.  What if you, as others said, paint the inner portion of the light diffuser with black paint?

i was thinking about using some white paint, it might be opaque enough to block out the light behind the black, but not so much as to block the light from passing through the white

cant hurt, isnt like i cant just print up another
It's Gumby's fault.

Are you printing these on regular paper? You could try some thicker paper. It may make the light more difficult to come through the white but should really help with the black.

Or how about printing on one side of the paper, then flip the paper over and reverse the image on the computer and reprint. If it lines up, both sides of the paper will be black and the lettering will match up perfectly.

You could try using cardstock type paper. It's much thicker than photo paper.
