> Um very confusing.

For a given image size in pixels, the maximum print size is the one they
suggest. A smaller (than the one suggested) print size will always look OK
(or better). Larger ones are possible but not advisable. If you really want
to make a colossal picture with your 800x600 pixel image you can, it just
going to be very blurred/pixellated/grainy on close up. In fact, if you have
an image editor, you can resize/resample the image yourself and see if you
like it. I got away in the past making postcards out of 800x600 images but
larger prints are out of the question for images that small. Also, keep in
mind that Zazzle works at 100 dpi which is quite low already.
