                 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
                         GARNER PRINTING OF DES MOINES

     HOUSTON, TX (July 10, 1996) - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:COGI)
today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Garner Printing of Des
Moines, Iowa. Garner, a high-quality, full-service, sheet-fed printer, has been
serving the Iowa printing market since 1928. Terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.

     Garner's five sheet-fed presses have up to seven-color capability and are
complemented by state-of-the-art prepress equipment and complete bindery. The
company provides printing to many of the area's top corporations engaged in a
variety of industries ranging from consumer products to financial services. The
existing management team, headed by Bob Garner, president, and including Jerry
Ross, Tom Kruger, and Bill Duro, vice presidents, will remain in place, and the
company's name will not change. Garner reported revenues of $13 million in 1995.

     "This acquisition represents our entry into the Midwest market where Garner
Printing has a reputation for being one of the top printers and providing
superior customer service," said Joe R. Davis, chairman and chief executive
officer of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. "Garner has always been committed to
investing in the technology to provide its customers with the most efficient and
highest quality printing. We will continue that commitment and offer an expanded
array of services."

     Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is one of the fastest growing printing
companies in the United States. It is a consolidator in a fragmented industry
that adds value to its acquisitions by providing the financial and operational
strengths, management support and technological advantages associated with a
larger organization. With the completion of the acquisition of Eagle Press in
Sacramento, Consolidated Graphics will operate fifteen printing companies in
eleven markets.
