I question your definition of flat.

I'm always using a plastic spatula, so mine is pristine.

No sharp protrusions that could puncture or damage the screen or vat. So I say flat.

I was never successful using a plastic spatula so I used a metal one

The trick is to include a wedge in the base of the print, then you don’t need much force. The standard base plate generated by ChiTuBox does have one already.
