This report investigates optimization of the PVDIS baffles via a modification which reduces the acceptance for photons from the target. Changes in signal and background rates in the GEMs, LGC, and EC are discussed. I find a small reduction in DIS signal rate at the same beam current, small reductions in GEM occupancy and charged pion flux at the EC, and a factor of about 2 reduction in background to signal in the LGC. These modest effects imply our baffle design is near optimal.
