If you make prints that meet conventional stand sizes, 11x14, 16x20 for instance, you'll cut off the edges and corners anyway.

To fill an 11 inch dimension, representing the 2 in 2:3, the other dimension will be be 16.5 and your final image will have an inch and a half chopped off each side.

On a 16x20, you'll lose 4 inches on the long side.

That's an excellent point that I overlooked!! Clearly it's been few years since I've done much printing! (I remember using those offcuts as graduated development/contrast test strips!) If corner sharpness might be an issue for something large I'd like to print, I could of course compose anticipating the crop.
