Zusammenfassung:To prevent deformation to relatively stiffer sheets during flipping, while ensuring reliable holding of relatively weaker sheets, a method for stacking sheets (S) received from a printer (1) by means of a sheet flipping device (12) comprising at least one slot (16, 17) for receiving a leading portion of a sheet (S) is provided. The method comprising the steps of:- determining a respective insertion depth parameter (D) for a first and a second sheet (S), wherein the second sheet (S) has a greater stiffness than the first sheet (S);- inserting a length (D1) of the first sheet (S) into at the least one slot (16, 17) in correspondence with its respective insertion depth parameter (D), followed by flipping said first sheet (S);- inserting a length (D2) of the second sheet (S) into at the least one slot (16, 17) in correspondence with its respective insertion depth parameter (D), followed by flipping said second sheet (S), wherein the inserted length (D1) of the first sheet (S) is greater than that of the second sheet (S).
