FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
AUTOMATED GRAPHIC SYSTEMS
HOUSTON, TEXAS - March 2, 1999 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Automated Graphic
Systems. Through its two production facilities, AGS provides a full range of
commercial printing services to the greater metropolitan Washington, D.C. and
Cleveland, Ohio markets. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Led by John Green, President, AGS has doubled in size in the past five
years. Mr. Green also serves as Treasurer of Printing Industries of America, the
largest trade association serving the printing industry, and is past Chairman of
Printing Industries of Maryland.
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, commented, "Founded in 1975, AGS has grown to become an industry
leader and will continue to thrive as it capitalizes upon our superior resources
and operating strategies. We welcome John Green, his industry expertise, and the
dedicated employees of AGS to our organization."
Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is the fastest growing printing company in the
United States. A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry, the Company adds
value to its acquisitions through managerial and operational expertise,
financial strength, and economies of scale. Upon completion of pending
acquisitions, Consolidated Graphics will have 53 companies with annualized
revenues in excess of $590 million.
This press release contains forward-looking statements which involve known

results to materially differ from the results, performance or other expectations
implied by these forward-looking statements. Consolidated Graphics' expectations
regarding run-rate revenues assume, among other things, completion of pending
acquisitions, general economic conditions, continued demand for its product, the
availability of raw materials, retention of its key management and operating

with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
