Please use the search function here as well... Black artifacts when looking through many transparent objects?. See my second answer there with further explanations. The accepted answer unfortunately talks about Transmission bounces, while this is actually a problem of Transparent bounces and so the accepted answer is actually wrong. My same answer is also here: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/275682/png-image-black-only-when-in-front-of-other-objects/275691#275691 — Gordon Brinkmann, Feb 16 '24 at 18:55
