Placed graphics do not honor scale

Looking for some help! I have a piece of artwork that is a TIFF at 21.39cm x 21.38cm at a resolution of 300. I have a Dimension document created that has a work space with the same resolution. I created a plane that matches the dimensions of the graphic. I placed the graphic on the face of the plane and I would have expected it to perfectly fill the space. However, there is a margin of space around the graphic and in the graphic properties it looks like the scale is about 14%. 

Does Dimension not honor the true scale of imported artwork? This is quite confusing!

 

Thanks for your time,
Rich

Try to use UV Export for correct placing decay.

    This is quite helpful, thank you! So I believe then the correct answer is: If you don't use UV maps to tell your graphic how to properly place on the 3D object, simply dropping in a graphic will not honor the original proportions of said graphic?
