Nine panels on one page? Your call, not Inky's
A page with more panels or more speech than usual is no longer refused. Inky warns you once that dense pages fail or muddle their layout more often, and you decide whether to draw it anyway or split the beats across two pages.
What shipped. Ask Inky for a page with nine panels and it used to say no, "for reliability". That is gone. A page with more than six panels, more than three lines of speech in one panel, or more than eight on the page is now a warning you can accept, not a closed door. Inky tells you once that pages this dense fail or muddle their layout more often than a three to six panel page, then offers two buttons: Draw it anyway or Split it across two pages.
Why it matters. Some beats want a wall of small panels: a fight, a montage, a room full of people talking at once. Only you know whether the risk is worth it for that page, and a failed drawing already refunds its credits by itself. A drawing that comes back with its panels muddled does not, and that is the trade you are choosing when you press Run.
How to use it. Ask for the count you want, in the studio or through a connected agent. The plan card says the page is dense and repeats the risk, so pressing Run is your yes. The same goes for a whole story: the story card says once that some of its pages are dense. There is still a ceiling no yes can lift, twelve panels or sixteen lines of speech on one page, because the layout stops fitting on a single image; Inky says so and offers the split.
