I stumbled upon a nuarch pulsed xeon printer (N1500), I want to use for large Cyanotypes and perhaps other processes. It didn't come with any cover on the front, and as such spills out an insane amount of light. I don't want that UV radiation in my space, do people normally put a cover over the front of these things? I have a lot of plywood scraps around, I was thinking of cutting one to shape and painting it black so I could put it over the front while it's on. Are there any reasons not to do so? Heat build up?

Thanks!
