    (54) Size-reducible sheet


    (57) A print medium sheet having a main portion (10a) and trai­ling and leading end portions (10c,10b) is sized so that the main portion is sufficiently large to receive a printed image (40) from a printer. The end portions are separated from the main portion by perforations (12,14). During prin­ting, the end portions are not printable. When printing is completed, the end portions (10b,10c) are separated from the main portion (10a). The sheet consisting of the main portion (10a) is smaller than when the end portions were attached and is covered by a larger image than would be possible without printing with the end portions.
