     HOUSTON, TEXAS - July 26, 2000 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

     Total revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased 19% over
the prior year to $173.5 million. Revenues were also up 3% as compared to the
March quarter. Operating income and net income for the quarter were $18.3
million and $8.0 million, compared to $20.5 million and $10.7 million in the
prior year. On a per share basis, earnings were $.59 diluted share for the first
quarter, compared to $.70 per diluted share in the same period last year.

     "We are pleased to report another quarter of record sales in addition to
earnings in line with our expectations," commented Joe R. Davis, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "The sales initiatives we began concentrating on in our
March 2000 quarter produced a significant revenue increase. Our margins,
however, were impacted as a result of this focus on gaining market share, as
well as the continued marketing efforts related to CGXmedia.com."

     "Our geographic coverage and wide-range of printing capabilities, together
with our emphasis on customer service and the development of complementary
electronic products, makes us a leader in the industry," Mr. Davis continued.
"Our focus continues to be building on these strengths to generate further
growth in sales and profits."

     Separately, the Company announced that it repurchased 700,000 shares of its
common stock during the quarter, bringing total repurchases under the Company's
share buyback program to 2.8 million shares and reducing the Company's total
