Two 9x30s on one 20x 30?

I have an odd size picture that is 9x30 inches (6000x1600 pixels). I plan to have mutable copies of this made. I plan to place two of these pictures on one 20x30 sheet of paper and order via MPIX.
Is there any special sizing issues I need to be concerned with?
I plan to make a canvas that is 20x30 and drag two of the images onto it and flatten in Photoshop. Just making sure I am not missing something here.
Thanks

Will you be printing a borderless print on the short edge? You will have to resize if you want a border, which you might need if you are going to mat and frame.

Your pixel dimensions don't match your inches -- 6000x1600 matches 8x30, not 9x30. So, are you saying you already have printed a 9x30 print (it would have borders along the long edges) or that you want to print using a 9x30 document? You will have to figure in your actual image dimensions. Yes, you can create a new document of, say, 20"x30" at 200 ppi (or using pixel dimensions 4000x6000) and paste copies of the image in, just realize that you'll have four inches of "free space" to plan around.

Yes, you are right. The picture is actually 8x20 without a border. I am just making sure I am not losing something in terms of resolution when I place two of them on one 20x30.
I think I am good to go, just wanted to bounce this off some people here to make sure.
Thanks!

Well if that's the case, I suggest you do a File>Place if your version of PS supports it rather than a paste or drag. PS will put the image on the page and allow you to resize and position it without altering the image data. Create the size and resolution canvas you want first.
