FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS NAMES JOHN GREEN
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT - DIGITAL MEDIA SERVICES
HOUSTON, TEXAS - July 28, 1999 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
announced today that John Green, has been appointed Executive Vice President
Digital Media Services. Mr. Green will lead Consolidated Graphics' effort in the
Internet, e-commerce and digital asset management areas. He will also continue
in his current role as President of Automated Graphic Systems of White Plains,
Maryland, a Consolidated Graphics operating company.
Mr. Green, 47, joined Automated Graphic Systems in 1982 and led the
company's growth and expansion of services. Mr. Green also served as Chairman of
the Board of Printing Industries of Maryland from 1994 to 1995 and is currently
serving as Vice Chairman for Finance and Administration for Printing Industries
of America.
Commenting on the announcement, Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "John has been highly successful at Automated Graphics in growing
the company and providing innovative solutions for customers. The strategies
initiated by his technology team at Automated Graphics, and similar efforts at
several of our other operations, have expanded their respective service
capabilities. We are very interested in making these innovations available to
our other Consolidated Graphics' companies."
Mr. Green commented, "Our goal has always been to help our customers become
more effective in their marketing efforts by expanding their use of digital
media. By doing so, we have become a single resource for a greater variety of
services and have increased our printing volume. We have seen a direct
relationship in the increased volume of digital services and the increase of
printed material requested by our customers. We believe these digital services
will be useful for other Consolidated Graphics companies as well."
Mr. Davis concluded, "When we acquire a company like Automated Graphics, we
not only buy a successful business, but we also obtain invaluable technological
expertise and management know-how. As Consolidated Graphics has continued its
aggressive acquisition program, companies have joined the organization that have
distinguished themselves from their competition by expanding their capabilities
to include on-line ordering, digital data asset management, data repurposing,
CD-ROM production and Internet and Web page design and development. These
services are complementary to traditional printing because they represent
different uses for the same digital media of our customers. As part of our `Best
Practices' approach, the competitive advantage these technologies offer will
benefit all 59 of our companies."
Consolidated Graphics is the fastest growing printing company in the United
States. A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry, the Company adds value

strength and economies of scale. Upon completion of pending acquisitions,
