Canvas size and DPI migration are separate tasks

Choose 4 × 6 inches in the workbench. At 8 dpmm the theoretical target is about 813 × 1219 dots; the renderer may use a nominal density and round differently. Export PDF and check its physical page size: 288 × 432 points. Changing the canvas does not scale all ^FO coordinates, fonts or barcodes. For a second label use PNG index 1; PDF includes all labels.
