Conference delegates from all over the world were welcomed to Dundee with a copy of The Courier.
More than 400 people from 31 countries are attending Impact8, which is examining the artistic, social and economic aspects of printing and printmaking.
Copies of the paper containing a report on the conference were handed out to the delegates as they arrived.
Thursday saw them become even better acquainted with the publications of DC Thomson thanks to a special session devoted to the history of the company and its publications.
During the first day of the conference the main event was an examination of the works of one of the major figures of contemporary British art, Bruce McLean, who is noted for his bold and confident approach to print making and has influenced many other contemporaries and younger artists.
