Prints sticking too well to platform

Hello

i have had my SL1 for about a year now,  and it has been printing flawless in that time. using Transparent Green Tough resin.

but i ran out of it, and it doesnt look like i can order any more of it from Prusa, so i picked a vibrant orange tough resin instead, and loaded the exposure settings from the prusa library (35/6).

but when it try to print the prints are so stuck to the plate that they completely shatter when i try to get them off. this is not something i have had any issues with, when using the transparent resin.

and it seems the parts of the prints where i have large overhangs, and i have added supports, thouse supports didnt hold onto the next layers, so there is half a millimeter gap between the tip of the support and the part (the part is missing around half a milimeter there).

unfortunatly in my frustration i haven't taken any pictures, just binned the whole thing. 

when the print is finished i put it in the washing maching for 1 cycle and then drying a curing for 1 cycle, before trying to take the parts off the plate, they are too soft before that.

anyone have any good ideas ? or maybe just a link to where i can get some transparent green resin so i can get back to printing 🙂
