You calculate and set the -density and set the -units parameter so as to fit the image into the real-work size specified. A image of ANY number of pixels can thus be set to ANY real-world size without any actual resizing. They are only settings! Of course the actual printing device may do its own pixel level resizing when actually outputting the image. But then it knows what pixels resolution (density) it needs and should adjust things accordingly. IM itself has no idea if the physical requirements of the output device. Be it a 1200 pdi color printer, or a 120 dpi monitor!
