I have seen no mention that commercial operations flip their cheeses or gradually increase pressure during pressing. I have also never read any mention that Old World cheesemakers in Alpine huts do this either. IMHO flipping and gradually increasing pressure makes very little difference, so I don't do either. I personally feel that trapping whey in the curd from pressing too hard, too fast is a myth. In my microcreamery, I generally press overnight, flip the next morning, and press for one more hour WITHOUT CHEESECLOTH (Plyban) to remove wrinkles.
Now, that being said, if I were pressing at home with a small hobby press, I would flip one time. And I would increase the pressure one time after the flip. Why? Because most small presses simply don't do a good job and do not give the consistent pressure that you need for a given cheese.
I know this goes against the advice of many of the "recipe" books, so this is just my opinion.
