FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


               CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
<PAGE>
      Houston, Texas - January 26, 2000 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31,
1999.

Third Quarter:

      Sales increased 34% to $158.4 million;

      Operating income grew 12% to $18.2 million;

      Net income increased 2% to $8.9 million;

      Earnings per diluted share decreased 7% to $.56 per share.

Nine Months:

      Sales increased 49% to $457.1 million;

      Operating income grew 39% to $59.7 million;

      Net income increased 34% to $30.3 million;

      Earnings per diluted share increased 18% to $1.93 per share.


      As previously announced, third quarter financial results were negatively
impacted by reduced demand and pricing pressures attributable to a slowdown in
industry conditions.

      Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While an
overall softness in the industry impacted our profitability in the third-
quarter, we are optimistic about our long-term prospects for the Company. We
remain committed to achieving above industry average growth rates and profit
margins and investing in technology, equipment, and people to achieve these
goals.

Consolidated Graphics Reports Third Quarter Results                     Page -2-

In addition to executing our on-going strategy of growing our core printing
revenue base, we have initiated a multi-faceted e-business strategy. This, we
believe, will strengthen our relationships with existing customers by providing
better service levels and faster turnaround time; enable us to pursue strategic
partnerships with e-business providers to gain additional customers; and further
link our network of printing companies together in order to meet the growing
needs of our customers."

      Mr. Davis concluded, "In addition to our focus on improving our operating
results and implementing our internet strategy, we are also committed to using
our strong financial position to our strategic advantage. In the near-term, we
believe our share repurchase program, under which we have purchased 1.5 million
shares to date, is an effective use of our available capital. Going forward, we
will continue to screen and pursue acquisition opportunities, as acquisitions
clearly remain part of our long-term growth strategy."

      Consolidated Graphics operates printing companies in 25 states with
annualized revenues in excess of $640 million. For more information, visit the
