Frequently asked questions
Can I use pixels or inches?
Yes — keep both sides in the same unit.
Does aspect ratio replace DPI checks?
No. Ratio keeps proportions; DPI checks resolution for the final inches.
What if the customer wants a crop?
Changing ratio means cropping or letterboxing — confirm which they accept.
Useful for mug wraps?
Yes — keep artwork proportional while you adjust wrap height.
