FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                     CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS TO ACQUIRE
                   THE GRAPHICS GROUP OF DALLAS, TEXAS

     HOUSTON, TEXAS - September 22, 1998 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc.
(NYSE:CGX) today announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire The
Graphics Group of Dallas, Texas. Founded in 1946, the Graphics Group is a
leading graphic arts service provider in the Southwest, serving corporations,
leading advertising and design firms, and marketing and communication
professionals. Jan Brans, President of The Graphics Group, will continue with
the company upon completion of the transaction. Representing the seller in the
transaction was Bill Crowley of Hardie & Crowley, LLC located in Austin, Texas.
Other terms were not disclosed.

     Mr. Brans said, "Access to the latest equipment and technology has become
more important as companies compete to provide a full range of graphic arts
services to their customers. With Consolidated Graphics, we will be better able
to stay ahead of new printing industry technology as it is developed. This will
benefit our customers, our employees and our prospects for future growth."

     Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics
commented, "The Graphics Group has been operating successfully for over a half-
century in the eighth largest print market in the nation. This transaction adds
another strong company to our group while expanding our presence in this
important market."

     Consolidated Graphics 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 48 companies nationwide with annualized revenues
in excess of $560 million.

     This press release contains forward-looking statements, which involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause actual
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 personnel, as well as other factors detailed in Consolidated Graphics
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
