OK, the hard way is trace the image in printer resolution.
first translate from metric to inches: 1,2 mt = 47,24 inches // 0,90 mt =
35,43 inches
next step is use the printer resolution, let say for a 300 dpi printer
resolution: 47,24 inches = 14172 pixels // 35,43 inches = 10629 pixels.
(multiply the size in inches by the resolution in dpi)
then your ouput in pov need to be 14172 x 10629.

The easy way is render the image in a more reliable size without change the
relation w/h = 1.3333~ and scaling later at print. by example 2362 x 1772
pixels and scaling in a factor of 6 or 600%.

Sorry my ugly english, i do my best

Salu2.
