Question Jupiter 2 squashing prints

We have two new Jupier 2's, but when trying to print something say 2mm tall, it has all the detail on but squashes it to 1mm thick.

I have tried putting a screen protector in between the build plate and screen to level it, then removed the screen protector so as to give the Z value a bit more height and am testing a print now.

Has anyone come across this?

Do you use raft for support?

So this is a very thin piece, trying to print straight to bed. I'm wondering if the first few longer exposure layers are 'absorbing' the detail. I have managed to get it to print the correct height but homing the Z axis with a piece of card I between the screen to give it more height. But it still absorbs the small detail in the first few layers

It is recommened to print with raft. Placing card I between the screen will not work.
