at the second thought - this means that printout can be mounted on anything - on a magnet, for example, (americans like to do this and keep their magnets on the refrigirator), or inserted into greeting cards that are pre-made for this purpose. The printout can be any size then. This is a Hewlett- Packard printer, and this slogan is one of their advertisments.
