breadkenty asked: Thank you for getting back to me quickly! This helps me so much. For the curves would it be better to find the correct one using PDN’s curve calculator for just one layer and simply apply the same curve to every other layer including the cyan type layer? Or perhaps finding the curve in relation to every other layer?

I haven’t not used the PDN’s curve calculator for my gum prints but it would make sense to find the correct curve for one layer and apply the same curve to all three CMY layers.
