IMAGEX.COM CLOSES ON ACQUISITION OF CREATIVEPRO.COM
IMAGEX.COM BECOMES THE FIRST ONLINE PROVIDER OF DESIGN-TO-PRINT TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTIONS

BELLEVUE, WASH. - JUNE 22, 2000 - ImageX.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMGX), the leading
business-to-business Internet market maker for printed business materials, today
closed on the acquisition of Creativepro.com, Inc., a vertical portal and
industry-leading supplier of e-services and ExtensisO branded software tools for
creative professionals. This closing establishes ImageX.com as the only online
provider of design-to-print technology for corporate printing customers
worldwide.

Capitalizing on its first-to-market mover advantage, ImageX.com is executing an
acquisition strategy designed to add corporate customers and increase
efficiencies and savings to customers through cutting-edge technology.

"This acquisition is another step solidifying ImageX.com's expansion of the
print production workflow to the design community, linking the various workflow
components that begin with the designer and end with the delivery of a document
to the end-user," said Charlie Corr, director for CAP Ventures, Inc. "ImageX.com
is well-positioned as a industry leader in the business-to-business design and
print e-commerce industry."

"With Creativepro.com, we are now the only Internet technology company who has
the ability to capture and engage the graphic arts community, who are
responsible for 8 out of 10 printing decisions, and catapult them from the
desktop design to the Web printed page," said Rich Begert, president and chief
executive officer of ImageX.com. "This acquisition also adds significant
blue-chip corporate customer accounts which will further enhance the company's
already growing revenue stream."

ImageX.com acquired Creativepro.com, Inc. for a total of $40.5 million,
consisting of approximately 4.3 million common shares of ImageX.com and $11.5
million in cash. Creativepro.com is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of ImageX.com,
continuing to operate from Portland, Ore. under the direction of Creativepro.com
founder, president and chief executive officer, Craig Barnes. This acquisition
will add highly skilled employees, including 47 developers and 42 marketing and
sales professionals to ImageX.com's family of companies.
