Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Quad/Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Quad/Graphics") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations for interim financial information of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC "). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" GAAP ") have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 , and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018 . The Company is subject to seasonality in its quarterly results as net sales and operating income are higher in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year as compared to the first and second quarters. The fourth quarter is typically the highest seasonal quarter for cash flows from operating activities due to the reduction of working capital requirements that reach peak levels during the third quarter. Seasonality is driven by increased magazine advertising page counts, retail inserts, catalogs and books primarily due to back-to-school and holiday-related advertising and promotions. The Company expects this seasonality impact to continue in future years. The financial information contained herein reflects all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides revised guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach and applied the guidance to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. This means that Topic 606 has been applied to the 2018 financial statements and disclosures going forward, but that prior period financial statements and disclosures reflect the revenue recognition standard of Topic 605, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note 2 , " Revenue Recognition ," for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures. Pension Plans On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which provides revised guidance on how to present the components of net pension income in the statement of operations. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the Company has reported $3.1 million of net pension income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , and has reclassified net pension income of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , to a line outside the subtotal of operating income, resulting in no impact to net earnings (loss). The Company has adopted ASU 2017-07 retrospectively and has utilized the practical expedient that permits the use of the amounts disclosed in previous filings for net pension income as the estimation basis for the presentation of the prior comparative periods. There are no service costs associated with the Company's pension plans due to their frozen status. See Note 13 , " Employee Retirement Plans ," for the components of net pension income.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes its products and services revenue based on when the transfer of control passes to the customer or when the service is completed and accepted by the customer. The effects of the adjustments to the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of Topic 606, were as follows: December 31, 2017 Topic 606 Adjustments Opening Balance at January 1, 2018 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 45.1 $ 2.3 $ 47.4 Other long-term assets 119.3 2.0 121.3 Deferred income taxes 41.9 1.1 43.0 Accumulated deficit (162.9 ) 3.2 (159.7 ) The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In adopting Topic 606, the timing of recognition changed for certain variable consideration paid to customers and costs to obtain contracts with customers. Revenue Disaggregation The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by the Company's operating segments and major products and services offerings: United States Print and Related Services International Total Three months ended March 31, 2018 Catalog, publications, retail inserts, books and directories $ 563.2 $ 85.5 $ 648.7 Direct mail and other printed products 136.6 8.9 145.5 Other 6.8 0.1 6.9 Total Products 706.6 94.5 801.1 Logistics services 97.8 5.2 103.0 Imaging, marketing services and other services 63.4 — 63.4 Total Services 161.2 5.2 166.4 Total Net Sales $ 867.8 $ 99.7 $ 967.5 Three months ended March 31, 2017 Catalog, publications, retail inserts, books and directories $ 599.4 $ 83.7 $ 683.1 Direct mail and other printed products 148.7 7.3 156.0 Other 15.0 0.2 15.2 Total Products 763.1 91.2 854.3 Logistics services 94.1 5.2 99.3 Imaging, marketing services and other services 45.0 — 45.0 Total Services 139.1 5.2 144.3 Total Net Sales $ 902.2 $ 96.4 $ 998.6 Nature of Products and Services The products offering is predominantly comprised of the Company's print operations which includes retail inserts, publications, catalogs, special interest publications, journals, direct mail, books, directories, in-store marketing and promotion, packaging, newspapers, custom print products, other commercial and specialty printed products and global paper procurement. The Company considers its logistic operations as services, which include the delivery of printed material. The Services offering also includes revenues related to the Company's imaging operations, which include digital content management, photography, color services, page production, marketing services, media planning and placement, facilities management and medical services. When Performance Obligations are Satisfied At contract inception, the Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies performance obligations for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or service that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company determined that the following distinct products and services represent separate performance obligations: • Pre-Press Services • Print • Other Services For Pre-Press and Other Services, the Company recognizes revenue at point-in-time upon completion of the performed service and acceptance by the customer. The Company considers transfer of control to occur once the service is performed as the Company has right to payment and the customer has legal title and risk and reward of ownership. The Company recognizes its Print revenues upon transfer of title and the passage of risk of loss, which is point-in-time upon shipment to the customer, and when there is a reasonable assurance as to collectability. Revenues related to the Company's logistics operations, which includes the delivery of printed material, are included in the Print performance obligation and are also recognized at point-in-time as services are completed. Under agreements with certain customers, products may be stored by the Company for future delivery. In these situations, the Company may receive warehouse management fees for the services it provides. Revenue from warehouse management fees was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Certain revenues earned by the Company require judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross as principal or net of related costs as an agent. Billings for third-party shipping and handling costs, primarily in the Company's logistics operations, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross in net sales and cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Many of the Company's operations process materials, primarily paper, that may be supplied directly by customer or may be purchased by the Company and sold to customers. No revenue is recognized for customer-supplied paper. Revenues for the Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. In some instances, the Company will deliver print work for a customer and bill the customer for postage. In these cases, the Company is acting as an agent and billings are recorded on a net basis in net sales. Significant Payment Terms Payment terms and conditions for contracts with customers vary. The Company typically offers standard terms of net 30 days. It is not the Company's standard business practice to offer extended payment terms longer than one year. The Company may offer cash discounts or prepayment and extended terms depending on certain facts and circumstances. As such, when the timing of the Company's delivery of products and services differs from the timing of payment, the Company will record either a contract asset or a contract liability. Variable Consideration When evaluating the transaction price, the Company analyzes on a contract by contract basis all applicable variable considerations and non-cash consideration and also performs a constraint analysis. The nature of the Company's contracts give rise to variable consideration, including, volume rebates, credits, discounts, and other similar items that generally decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, when contracts are signed, or making payments within specific terms. Product returns are not significant because the products are customized; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer allowances at the time of sale based on historical experience and known trends. When the transaction price requires allocation to multiple performance obligations, the Company uses the estimated stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market assessment approach. Cost to Obtain Contracts In accordance with Topic 606, the Company capitalizes certain sales incentives of the sales compensation packages for costs that are directly attributed to being awarded a customer contract or renewal and would not have been incurred had the contract not been obtained. The Company also defers certain contract acquisition costs paid to the customer at contract inception. The Company elected the practical expedient in Topic 606 for contracts with a duration of less than one year and expenses the cost to obtain contracts as incurred. For all contract costs with contracts over one year, the Company amortizes the costs to obtain contracts on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the contract and reviews quarterly for impairment. At January 1, 2018, the Company had $23.5 million in contract costs for contracts that were not completed as of that date. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company incurred additional contract costs of $0.7 million , amortized $1.8 million , and consequently, the balance of contract costs were $22.4 million as of March 31, 2018 . Practical Expedients For certain performance obligations related to print contracts, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for: (1) contracts that have an original expected length of one year or less; (2) contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced; or (3) contracts with variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company has approximately $820.6 million in volume commitments in contracts that extend beyond one year. The Company expects to recognize approximately 32% of these volume commitments in contracts as revenue by the end of 2018, an additional 37% by the end of 2020, and the balance thereafter. The Company expenses costs to obtain contracts as incurred when the contract duration is less than one year. The Company does not disclose the value of the unsatisfied performance obligations as the transfer of products and services is less than one year in duration. The transaction amount is not adjusted for a significant financing component as the period between transfer of the products or services is less than one year. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities, which includes postage, that occur after control of the related products or services transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities and are therefore recognized at time of shipping. The Company excludes from its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales taxes.

Acquisitions and Strategic Investments [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	Acquisitions and Strategic Investments 2018 Ivie & Associates Acquisition The Company completed the acquisition of Ivie & Associates ("Ivie") on February 21, 2018 , for $92.5 million cash paid, which is subject to a potential earn-out of up to an additional $16.0 million , to the extent that certain financial metrics are achieved post-integration. Ivie is headquartered in Flower Mound, Texas and provides a full array of marketing services, including creative and production services, studio services, sourcing, procurement, staff enhancement, media services, public relations, digital, technology solutions and project management for many leading brands throughout the world.

Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation are $78.6 million of identifiable other intangible assets, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to eight years , and $29.4 million of goodwill, of which $27.6 million is deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The purchase price, as well as the purchase price allocation, is subject to the final determination of acquired working capital and completion of the final valuation of the net assets acquired. The net assets acquired, excluding acquired cash, were classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 11 , " Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements ," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Ivie's operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment. 2018 Rise Interactive Investment On March 14, 2018 , the Company increased its equity position in Rise Interactive ("Rise") from 19% to 57% for the conversion of $9.3 million of loans to equity ownership and $8.7 million cash paid. The Company had historically accounted for Rise as a cost method investment. Rise is a digital marketing agency headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, that specializes in media, analytics and customer experience, and helps enterprise marketers see, shape, and act on opportunities in digital media. The Company has consolidated the results of Rise as of the date the Company obtained controlling financial interest in Rise and accounts for the 43% portion of Rise's results not owned by the Company as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities of, and noncontrolling interests in, Rise is estimated to be $60.0 million , including an estimated $58.6 million of goodwill, of which $33.4 million is deductible for tax purposes and $13.6 million of acquired cash. The preliminary allocation of the fair value is based on initial valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The fair value, as well as the fair value allocation, is subject to the completion of the final valuation of the net assets of the business. The net assets, excluding cash, were classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 11 , " Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements ," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Rise's operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges	Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges The Company recorded restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Employee termination charges $ 10.6 $ 2.9 Impairment charges 7.9 0.4 Transaction-related charges 0.7 0.8 Integration costs 0.1 — Other restructuring charges 5.6 5.1 Total $ 24.9 $ 9.2 The costs related to these activities have been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges. See Note 18 , " Segment Information ," for restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges by segment. Restructuring Charges The Company began a restructuring program in 2010 related to eliminating excess manufacturing capacity and properly aligning its cost structure. The Company has announced a total of 42 plant closures and has reduced headcount by approximately 12,300 employees since 2010 . The Company recorded the following charges as a result of plant closures and other restructuring programs: • Employee termination charges of $10.6 million and $2.9 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company reduced its workforce through facility consolidations and separation programs. • Integration costs of $0.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , which related to costs for the integration of acquired companies. There were no integration costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . • Other restructuring charges of $5.6 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , which consisted of the following: (1) $2.2 million of lease exit charges; (2) $2.2 million of vacant facility carrying costs, net of a $2.2 million gain from the sale of the San Ixhuatepec, Mexico facility; (3) $0.8 million of equipment and infrastructure removal costs from closed plants; and (4) $0.4 million of other restructuring charges. Other restructuring charges of $5.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , which consisted of the following: (1) $3.2 million of lease exit charges primarily related to the closures of the Huntington Beach, California; and Manassas, Virginia plants; (2) $1.2 million of equipment and infrastructure removal costs from closed plants; and (3) $0.7 million of vacant facility carrying costs, net of a $3.7 million gain from the sale of the East Greenville, Pennsylvania and Marengo, Iowa plants. The restructuring charges recorded were based on plans that have been committed to by management and were, in part, based upon management's best estimates of future events. Changes to the estimates may require future restructuring charges and adjustments to the restructuring liabilities. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring charges related to these and other initiatives. Impairment Charges The Company recognized impairment charges of $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , which consisted of $2.4 million of land and building impairment charges and $5.5 million of impairment charges for machinery and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction restructuring activities. The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , for machinery and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction restructuring activities. The fair values of the impaired assets were determined by the Company to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11 , " Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements ," for the definition of Level 3 inputs) and were estimated based on internal discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices where available and independent appraisals, as appropriate. These assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values at the time of impairment. Transaction-Related Charges The Company incurs transaction-related charges primarily consisting of professional service fees related to business acquisition and divestiture activities. Transaction-related charges of $0.7 million and $0.8 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to specific reporting units and is tested annually for impairment as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. The Company recorded preliminary goodwill within the United States Print and Related Services segment related to acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The amount of preliminary goodwill is subject to the final determination of acquired working capital and completion of the final valuation of the net assets acquired.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization within other intangible assets—net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 , differs from the value originally recorded at acquisition due to impairment charges recorded in prior years and the effects of currency fluctuations since the purchase date. Other intangible assets are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges recorded on finite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . Amortization expense for other intangible assets was $5.8 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The estimated future amortization expense related to other intangible assets as of March 31, 2018 , was as follows: Amortization Expense Remainder of 2018 $ 24.3 2019 27.7 2020 22.3 2021 14.6 2022 12.2 2023 and thereafter 15.5 Total $ 116.6

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company is named as a defendant in various lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company in the normal course of business. The liabilities, if any, which ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected by management to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. In April 2016, the Company self-reported to the SEC and the Department of Justice ("DOJ") certain Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") issues, and a resulting internal investigation, related to its operations managed from Peru. These operations had approximate annual sales ranging from $95.0 million to $135.0 million from the date that the Company acquired those operations in July 2010 until the date the issues were discovered. The self-reported issues were identified by the Company's financial internal controls. The Company, under the oversight of its Audit Committee and Board of Directors, proactively initiated an investigation into this matter with the assistance of external legal counsel and external forensic accountants. Additional compliance issues arising out of the Peru subsidiary have been identified during the course of the investigation and are known to the SEC and DOJ. During the course of its internal investigation, the Company has also identified, and self-reported to the DOJ and SEC, transactions raising similar issues involving certain sales made in its Quad/Tech China operations. For the period 2011 through 2015, the approximate annual sales of these China operations ranged from $2.0 million to $3.0 million . During the course of its internal investigation, the Company has also identified and informed the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the DOJ and SEC, of certain transactions involving Cuba, and continues to investigate the propriety of such transactions under United States trade sanctions. In connection with this investigation, the Company has made, and continues to evaluate, certain enhancements to its compliance program. The Company is fully cooperating with the OFAC, the SEC and the DOJ. At this time, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or financial condition as a result of this matter. Environmental Reserves The Company is subject to various laws, regulations and government policies relating to health and safety, to the generation, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances, and to environmental protection in general. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such reserves are adjusted as new information develops or as circumstances change. The environmental reserves are not discounted. The Company believes it is in compliance with such laws, regulations and government policies in all material respects. Furthermore, the Company does not anticipate that maintaining compliance with such environmental statutes will have a material impact upon the Company's condensed consolidated financial position.

The fair value determination of the Company's total debt was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11 , " Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements ," for the definition of Level 2 inputs). 2017 Senior Secured Credit Facility Amendment The Company completed the second amendment to the Company's April 28, 2014 Senior Secured Credit Facility on February 10, 2017 . This second amendment was completed to reduce the size of the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A and to extend the Company's debt maturity profile while maintaining the Company's current cost of borrowing and covenant structure. The amendment resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The revolving credit facility was lowered to a maximum borrowing amount of $725.0 million with a term of just under four years , maturing on January 4, 2021. The Term Loan A was lowered to an aggregate amount of $375.0 million with a term of just under four years , maturing on January 4, 2021, subject to certain required amortization. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A loans made under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at 1.75% in excess of reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or 0.75% in excess of an alternate base rate. This amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility does not have an impact on the quarterly financial covenant requirements the Company is subject to. The Senior Secured Credit Facility remains secured by substantially all of the unencumbered assets of the Company. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires the Company to provide additional collateral to the lenders in certain limited circumstances. Debt Issuance Costs Activity impacting the Company's debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , was as follows: Capitalized Debt Issuance Costs Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 10.3 Amortization of debt issuance costs (0.8 ) Balance at March 31, 2018 $ 9.5 2017 Loss on Debt Extinguishment The Company incurred $4.7 million in debt issuance costs in conjunction with the second amendment to the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility. In accordance with the accounting guidance for the treatment of debt issuance costs in a debt extinguishment, of the $4.7 million in new debt issuance costs, $3.2 million was classified as a reduction of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $1.5 million was expensed and was classified as loss on debt extinguishment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The loss on debt extinguishment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , was comprised of the following: Loss on Debt Extinguishment Debt issuance costs from April 28, 2014 debt financing arrangement $ 1.1 Debt issuance costs from February 10, 2017 debt financing arrangement 1.5 Total $ 2.6 Covenants and Compliance The Company's various lending arrangements include certain financial covenants (all financial terms, numbers and ratios are as defined in the Company's debt agreements). Among these covenants, the Company was required to maintain the following as of March 31, 2018 : • Total Leverage Ratio. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the total leverage ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company's total leverage ratio was 2.21 to 1.00). • Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the senior secured leverage ratio, defined as senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company's senior secured leverage ratio was 1.69 to 1.00). • Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense, shall not be less than 3.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company's minimum interest coverage ratio was 7.06 to 1.00). The indenture underlying the Company's $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.0% senior notes due May 1, 2022 , (the " Senior Unsecured Notes ") contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to incur and/or guarantee additional debt; pay dividends, repurchase stock or make certain other restricted payments; enter into agreements limiting dividends and certain other restricted payments; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; grant liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of property and assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates. In addition to those covenants, the Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes certain limitations on acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends and repurchases of capital stock, including the following: • If the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility), the Company is prohibited from making greater than $120.0 million of annual dividend payments, capital stock repurchases and certain other payments. If the total leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00, there are no such restrictions. • If the Company's senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 or the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00 (these ratios as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility), the Company is prohibited from voluntarily prepaying any of the Senior Unsecured Notes and from voluntarily prepaying any other unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, with certain exceptions (including any mandatory prepayments on the Senior Unsecured Notes or any other unsecured or subordinated debt). If the senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and the total leverage ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00, there are no such restrictions.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company records income tax (benefit) expense on an interim basis. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is adjusted quarterly, and items discrete to a specific quarter are reflected in income tax (benefit) expense for that interim period. For 2018, the estimated annual effective income tax rate incorporates the relevant provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"), including, but not limited to, the 21% United States federal corporate rate. The effective income tax rate for the interim period can differ from the statutory tax rate, as it reflects discrete items, such as changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to the establishment and settlement of income tax exposures and benefits related to share-based compensation. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2018 , was $20.0 million . The Company anticipates a $6.0 million decrease to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the resolution of income tax audits or statute expirations. The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date of December 22, 2017, for companies to complete under Accounting Standards Codification 740 ("ASC 740"). The Company was able to reasonably estimate certain effects of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2017 and has not changed the preliminary estimates as of March 31, 2018 . The Company was unable to reasonably estimate effects of the Tax Act related to the global intangible low taxed income ("GILTI") and related impact on valuation allowances as of December 31, 2017. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, the Company continues to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC 740 and did not record a provisional adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

Financial Instruments and Fair

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or impairment charges. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There were no Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2018 . Interest Rate Swap The Company entered into a $250.0 million interest rate swap on February 7, 2017. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge as its purpose is to reduce the variability of cash flows from interest payments related to a portion of Quad/Graphics' variable-rate debt. The swap effectively converts $250.0 million of the Company's variable-rate debt based on one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 3.64% (including a 1.75% spread on underlying debt at March 31, 2018 ). The variable interest rate resets monthly and the swap is a five year arrangement, maturing on February 28, 2022. The Company classifies the interest rate swap as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model are observable or can be derived or corroborated utilizing observable market data at commonly quoted intervals. The interest rate swap was highly effective as of March 31, 2018 ; therefore, the increase in fair value of $3.7 million and $0.4 million during three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is shown as a change in other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. No amount of ineffectiveness has been recorded into earnings related to this cash flow hedge. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $5.8 million as of March 31, 2018 , and an asset of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2017 , and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net payment of interest under the terms of the interest rate swap totaled an expense of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , and during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and has been recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company has operations in countries that have transactions outside their functional currencies and periodically enters into foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are used to hedge the net exposures of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. There were no open foreign currency exchange contracts as of March 31, 2018 . Natural Gas Forward Contracts The Company periodically enters into natural gas forward purchase contracts to hedge against increases in commodity costs. The Company's commodity contracts qualified for the exception related to normal purchases and sales during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , as the Company takes delivery in the normal course of business. Debt The Company measures fair value on its debt instruments using interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities and is categorized as Level 2. See Note 9 , “ Debt ,” for the fair value of the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2018 . Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. See Note 3 , " Acquisitions and Strategic Investments ," for further discussion on acquisitions. See Note 4 , " Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges " and Note 7 , " Property, Plant and Equipment " for further discussion on impairment charges recorded as a result of the remeasurement of certain long-lived assets. Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements The Company records the fair value of its forward contracts and pension plan assets on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values as of March 31, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 .

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Retirement Plans	Employee Retirement Plans Defined Contribution Plans The Quad/Graphics Employee Stock Ownership Plan (" ESOP ") holds profit sharing contributions of Company stock, which are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company made a non-cash contribution of 1,006,061 shares of Company class A common stock at a stock price of $22.18 per share for a total value of $22.3 million to the ESOP during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . There were no profit sharing contributions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Pension Plans The Company assumed various funded and unfunded frozen pension plans for a portion of its full-time employees in the United States as part of the acquisition of World Color Press Inc. (" World Color Press ") in 2010. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation. These plans are funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required for all qualified plans using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations. The components of net pension income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Interest cost $ (4.0 ) $ (4.3 ) Expected return on plan assets 7.1 6.9 Net pension income $ 3.1 $ 2.6 The Company made $0.3 million in benefit payments to its non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and made no contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Multiemployer Pension Plans ("MEPPs") The Company has withdrawn from all significant multiemployer pension plans and replaced these union sponsored "promise to pay in the future" defined benefit plans with a Company sponsored "pay as you go" defined contribution plan. The two MEPPs, the Graphic Communications International Union – Employer Retirement Fund ("GCIU") and the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters National Pension Fund ("GCC"), are significantly underfunded, and require the Company to pay a withdrawal liability to fund its pro rata share of the underfunding as of the plan year the full withdrawal was completed. As a result of the decision to withdraw, the Company accrued the estimated withdrawal liability based on information provided by each plan's trustee. The Company has received a notice of withdrawal and demand for payment letter from the GCIU, which is in excess of the reserve established by the Company for the GCIU withdrawal. The Company is currently in litigation with the GCIU trustees to determine the amount and duration of the withdrawal payments for the GCIU. Arbitration proceedings with the GCIU have been completed, both sides have appealed the arbitrator's ruling, and litigation in Federal court has commenced. During April 2017, a Federal district court overturned the arbitration decision in one of the pending disputes in this matter. The Company has appealed the district court's ruling to the Ninth Circuit. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company and the GCC reached a settlement agreement for all claims, with scheduled payments until February 2024. The Company made payments totaling $3.9 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The payments are required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, although such payments to the GCIU do not waive the Company's rights to object to the withdrawal liabilities submitted by the GCIU plan administrator. The Company has reserved $25.3 million as its estimate of the total MEPPs withdrawal liability as of March 31, 2018 , of which $17.7 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities and $7.6 million was recorded in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The withdrawal liability reserved by the Company is within the range of the Company's estimated potential outcomes. This estimate may increase or decrease depending on the final conclusion of the litigation with the GCIU trustees.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Quad/Graphics Common Shareholders Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders is computed as net earnings (loss) attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders includes the effect of any dilutive equity incentive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding dilutive equity incentive instruments, which requires the Company to compute total proceeds as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributable to future services. Equity incentive instruments for which the total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net earnings, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation. Anti-dilutive equity instruments excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share were 1.0 million class A common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Due to the net loss incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the assumed exercise of all equity incentive instruments was anti-dilutive and therefore, not included in the diluted loss per share calculation for that period. Reconciliations of the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for the Company's common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Numerator Net earnings (loss) attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders $ (3.5 ) $ 25.4 Denominator Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all classes of common shares 50.1 49.1 Plus: effect of dilutive equity incentive instruments — 2.4 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all classes of common shares 50.1 51.5 Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders Basic $ (0.07 ) $ 0.52 Diluted $ (0.07 ) $ 0.49 Cash dividends paid per common share for all classes of common shares $ 0.30 $ 0.30

Equity Incentive Programs	Equity Incentive Programs The shareholders of the Company approved the Quad/Graphics, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") for two complementary purposes: (1) to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as directors, officers and employees; and (2) to increase shareholder value. The Omnibus Plan provides for an aggregate 10,871,652 shares of class A common stock reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Plan may consist of incentive awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance share units, shares of class A common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units or other stock-based awards as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Each stock option granted has an exercise price of no less than 100% of the fair market value of the class A common stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2018 , there were 1,540,511 shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Authorized unissued shares or treasury shares may be used for issuance under the Company's equity incentive programs. The Company plans to either use treasury shares of its class A common stock or issue shares of class A common stock to meet the stock requirements of its awards in the future. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, performance shares, performance share units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those awards expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite three to four year service period of the awards, except deferred stock units, which are fully vested and expensed on the grant date. The Company estimated the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management's expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Equity Incentive Compensation Expense The total compensation expense recognized related to all equity incentive programs was $5.4 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and was recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total future compensation expense related to all equity incentive programs granted as of March 31, 2018 , was estimated to be $25.4 million , which consists entirely of expense for restricted stock ("RS") and restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards. Estimated future compensation expense is $9.7 million for the remainder of 2018 , $9.9 million for 2019 , $5.1 million for 2020 and $0.7 million for 2021 . Stock Options Options vest over four years , with no vesting in the first year and one-third vesting upon the second, third and fourth anniversary dates. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee. Options expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date, 24 months after termination for death, 36 months after termination for normal retirement or disability and 90 days after termination of employment for any other reason. Options are not credited with dividend declarations, except for the November 18, 2011 grants. Stock options are only to be granted to employees. There were no stock options granted, and no compensation expense was recognized related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 .

The awards are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the employee. RSU awards are typically granted to eligible employees outside of the United States. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee. Grantees receiving RS grants are able to exercise full voting rights and receive full credit for dividends during the vesting period. All such dividends will be paid to the RS grantee within 45 days of full vesting. Grantees receiving RSUs are not entitled to vote, but do earn dividends. Upon vesting, RSUs will be settled either through cash payment equal to the fair market value of the RSUs on the vesting date or through issuance of the Company's class A common stock.

Compensation expense recognized for RS and RSUs was $4.5 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

The following table is a summary of DSU award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 : Deferred Stock Units Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Outstanding at December 31, 2017 195,913 $ 18.18 Granted 39,360 22.60 Dividend equivalents granted 2,625 25.35 Settled (12,587 ) 10.56 Outstanding at March 31, 2018 225,311 $ 19.46 Each DSU award entitles the grantee to receive one share of class A common stock upon the earlier of the separation date of the grantee or the second anniversary of the grant date, but could be subject to acceleration for a change in control, death or disability as defined in the individual DSU grant agreement. Grantees of DSU awards may not exercise voting rights, but are credited with dividend equivalents, and those dividend equivalents will be converted into additional DSU awards based on the closing price of the class A common stock. Compensation expense of $0.9 million was recognized for DSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . As DSU awards are fully vested on the grant date, all compensation expense was recognized at the date of grant.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02 "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"), which will give entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of tax reform into accumulated deficit. The guidance requires the entity to disclose whether or not it has elected to reclassify the tax effects related to the Tax Act, as well as the entity's policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance, including in the period the Tax Act was enacted. Entities that choose to adopt ASU 2018-02 in an annual or interim period after the period of enactment will be able to choose whether to apply the amendments retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act is recognized, or to apply the amendments in the period of adoption. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, applying the amendments in the period of adoption. The Company has elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the change in federal tax rate due to enactment of the Tax Act for all items in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-02, the Company has reclassified $2.9 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to decrease accumulated deficit. See Note 17 , " Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ," for the breakout of the impact by component. In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"), which simplifies and reduces the complexity of the hedge accounting requirements and better aligns an entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with its risk management activities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective adoption approach to existing hedging relationships as of the adoption date. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, and the adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from net benefit cost and provides guidance on how to present the service costs and other components of net benefit costs in the statement of operations. Under the new standard, an entity must report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the statement of operations separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of operating income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and requires a retrospective adoption approach for the classification of components of net periodic benefit cost in the statement of operations. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, applying a retrospective adoption approach and utilizing the practical expedient that permits the use of the amounts disclosed in previous filings for net pension income as the estimation basis for the presentation of the prior comparative periods. See Note 1 , " Basis of Presentation ," for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures and Note 13 , " Employee Retirement Plans ," for the components of net pension income. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to be recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard and will apply this guidance to all goodwill impairment analyses performed after January 1, 2018. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and requires a retrospective adoption approach. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, and as a result, the Company has condensed the line items "cash and cash equivalents" and "restricted cash" into one line on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has also made adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which included removing certain line items related to the transfer of restricted cash, and adjusting beginning and ending cash balances to reflect the newly condensed "cash and cash equivalents" line item within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach, where the entity will need to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which establishes a right-of-use model requiring a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The modified retrospective transition approach would require the application of the new accounting model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements. The FASB is currently reviewing a proposal to allow a prospective transition approach in which only the current year financial statements would need to be reported under the new accounting model. The Company has established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has completed its initial scoping review and has purchased a system that will assist in meeting the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company is also in the process of implementing changes to its processes and internal controls. The Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which provides revised guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to the customer in the amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flow arising from contracts with customers. This guidance allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied only to the most current period. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective approach. See Note 1 , " Basis of Presentation ," and Note 2 , " Revenue Recognition ," for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides revised guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach and applied the guidance to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. This means that Topic 606 has been applied to the 2018 financial statements and disclosures going forward, but that prior period financial statements and disclosures reflect the revenue recognition standard of Topic 605, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note 2 , " Revenue Recognition ," for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures.
Pension Plans Policy	Pension Plans On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which provides revised guidance on how to present the components of net pension income in the statement of operations. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the Company has reported $3.1 million of net pension income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , and has reclassified net pension income of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , to a line outside the subtotal of operating income, resulting in no impact to net earnings (loss). The Company has adopted ASU 2017-07 retrospectively and has utilized the practical expedient that permits the use of the amounts disclosed in previous filings for net pension income as the estimation basis for the presentation of the prior comparative periods. There are no service costs associated with the Company's pension plans due to their frozen status. See Note 13 , " Employee Retirement Plans ," for the components of net pension income.
Fair Value Measurement	Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or impairment charges. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There were no Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2018 .
Earnings Per Share	The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders includes the effect of any dilutive equity incentive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding dilutive equity incentive instruments, which requires the Company to compute total proceeds as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributable to future services. Equity incentive instruments for which the total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net earnings, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans	The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, performance shares, performance share units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those awards expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite three to four year service period of the awards, except deferred stock units, which are fully vested and expensed on the grant date. The Company estimated the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management's expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements	In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"), which simplifies and reduces the complexity of the hedge accounting requirements and better aligns an entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with its risk management activities.
