A look back at 2009

For the printing industry, the past year hasn’t exactly been a good year. My history of prepress page about 2009 mainly talks about the economic crisis.

Meanwhile 2009 has been an excellent year for this site. I’ve added and updated loads of articles, enjoyed doing so and learned a lot along the way. Monthly page views tripled to 100000 views per months. Below is a list of the 20 most popular pages of 2009. Consider it a ‘recommened reading‘ list.
