                       QUEBECOR PRINTING COMPLETES MERGER
                             WITH WORLD COLOR PRESS


MONTREAL - Quebecor Printing Inc. announced today that it has completed the
previously announced merger with Greenwich, Connecticut-based World Color Press,
Inc. The combined new company is the largest commercial printer in the world,
serving customers in magazines, catalogs, books, retail inserts and circulars
and specialty/direct mail printing.

The merger, approved today at a meeting of World Color stockholders, is the
second step in a two step acquisition. In the first step, Quebecor Printing's
wholly owned subsidiary, Printing Acquisition Inc., purchased approximately
50.4% of World Color's share through a cash tender offer. In this second step,
each share of World Color common stock not purchased in the tender offer will be
exchanged for 1.2685 Quebecor Printing subordinate voting shares and US $8.18 in
cash.

As a result of this transaction, Quebecor Printing will issue approximately 25
million subordinate voting shares, including assumption of options to purchase
World Color Press common stock. Following completion, the total number of
Quebecor Printing shares outstanding will be approximately 147 million.

World Color, which was renamed Quebecor World (USA) Inc., will continue as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Quebecor Printing. Quebecor Printing intends to seek
approval from its shareholders at its next annual meeting to be held in April
2000, to change its name to Quebecor World Inc.

"Today marks the final step in achieving our goal to become the world's largest
commercial printer. We are excited about the benefits of this merger for all of
our stakeholders," said Charles G. Cavell, President and CEO of Quebecor
Printing.

"This merger brings together two industry leaders, both of which have much to
offer one another. We are impressed by the degree of synergy that is available
and are working to ensure that we combine the best of both organizations,"
commented Marc Reisch, Chairman, President and CEO of Quebecor World North
America.
