COPPELL, Texas---June 8, 1999--TST/Impreso, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM: TSTI), producer of the highly-successful HotSheet.com(R) online web reference directory www.hotsheet.com, today announced website design changes which improve ease-of-use and enhance the functionality of the site. In addition, the Company announced the availability of co-branded searches for weather, stock quotes, media listings, and price comparisons.

HotSheet.com is a unique single-page directory with categorized links to premier web destinations. The new design allows users to view all the links in a particular category without scrolling. A new navigation bar at the top of the page provides the ability to "jump" instantly to any primary category, and new colored headings clearly distinguish individual categories within the page.

"We have received a very favorable response to our initial rollout of the new page design," commented Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of TST/Impreso, Inc. "The overall opinion is that the new HotSheet.com layout allows users to find the sites they are seeking faster and more easily than the original page design."

In addition to the previously-announced addition of HotSheet Super Search (a meta-search service provided in association with Mamma Systems, Inc.) to the site, HotSheet.com now provides co-branded searches for weather, stock quotes, media listings, and price comparison data. Weather information is provided by Accu-Weather, Inc.; stock quotes and technical charts are co-branded with ASK Research, LLC; television listings are provided by Click TV, a division of TV Data Technologies, Inc.; and price comparisons are made available through an association with Bottom Dollar, a service from WebCentric, Inc.
