Material with png image displays black background in render mode

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I was experimenting with a model where I apply a material and select an image as an overlay, similar to for example a soda can with the label and logo wrapped around it. 

For this purpose I used a PNG image and I made sure the background is transparent.  When modelling the object the result is as desired: Only the logo is shown on the cylinder, the transparent background is not visible and the color of the cylinder is visible on parts where the logo is not covering the can.

However, when I render the model, the result is that the background image of the png logo is shown as a black square, as if the background is not transparent anymore.

I'm not able to find the desired settings for this. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Nick
