          EPIGENESIS, INC. (FORMERLY QUAD SYSTEMS CORPORATION)
          ----------------------------------------------------
             COMPLETES SALE TO TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
             ----------------------------------------------

WILLOW GROVE, Pa., July 12, 2001 - Quad Systems Corporation (OTC:
QSYSQ) ("Quad") announced today that it has completed the sale of its
business and substantially all of its U.S. assets other than accounts
receivable, including the Quad name, to Tyco Electronics Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation on the terms described below.  In connection with
the sale, Quad will now be known as Epigenesis, Inc., until the
completion of its expected liquidation.  Quad also at the same time
announced the sale of the business and assets of Quad's U.K. subsidiary
to an affiliate of Tyco Electronics Corporation.

      Until the sale, Quad had been operating its business as a debtor and a
debtor-in-possession in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings pending before the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the
"Bankruptcy Court"). Quad entered into the Agreement of Sale and consummated the
transaction with Tyco with the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Following
the closing, Tyco will continue to operate the assets that formerly comprised
Quad's business.

     The total purchase price for the sale of the U.S. assets was approximately
$5.2 million, subject to post-closing adjustment in certain circumstances based
on the post-closing value of the assets transferred, plus the assumption of
certain liabilities. The purchase price was paid in cash at closing, net of a
hold-back of $1,250,000 to secure any such post-closing adjustment and certain
continuing warranty obligations of Quad in connection with the sale of Quad's
assets and its U.K. subsidiary. The Quad U.K. subsidiary was sold for
approximately (U.S.) $550,000, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. After
payment of secured indebtedness aggregating approximately $1,140,000, Quad
currently expects that net proceeds from the U.S. sale of approximately $2.8
million will be available to pay priority and general unsecured claimants in
Quad's bankruptcy proceedings under a plan of reorganization/liquidation that
Quad expects to file with and have approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The
proceeds of Quad's retained accounts receivable, and any portion of the
$1,250,000 holdback ultimately paid over to Quad will also be available to pay
claimants in the bankruptcy proceedings. It is not anticipated that any
distribution will be made to any of Quad's equity security holders, in
connection with its bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise. Quad expects that Tyco
will retain some portion of the $1,250,000 holdback upon completion of the
post-closing adjustment.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

       This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements include, among other things, statements regarding the proposed
distribution of the proceeds of the sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets. Although management believes that the forward-looking statements in this
release are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed in any of the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements relating to the proposed distribution of sale
proceeds are subject, among other things, to Bankruptcy Court approval and the
terms ultimately obtained under Quad's plan of reorganization/liquidation. Other
factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
in any forward-looking statement include the impact that public disclosures of
the Company's liquidity situation and Chapter 11 filing may have on collection
of remaining accounts receivable, any post-closing adjustment or other matter
that would cause Tyco to retain the $1,250,000 holdback, the timing and terms of
future asset disposals, and other factors identified in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in parts
I and II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1999 and in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and
Current Reports on Form 8-K filed during 2000 and to be filed during 2001.
