7800 x 3937.

Zazzle can print this at 100 DPI, yielding 78 x 39 inches.

Yes, you heard me correctly: 6.5 x 3.25 *feet*. As in, the size of a wall.

Almost all my posters on Zazzle have been rendered at sufficiently high 
resolution that they can be ordered up to this large. So, for example, 
if you take *this* image:

http://www.zazzle.com/MathematicalOrchid/product/228133982621059924

and print it out at *wall size*, it's practically an interactive zoom by 
itself. You can stand on the other size of the room and look at it, and 
then you can walk up to it and view the details with your head less than 
an inch from the surface - and you will see new detail at that distance. 
(!!)

(That image is actually 48 megapixels, because the long dimension is a 
nice power of two... So the poster prints at slightly more than 100 DPI.)

Yes, yes it is... It *will* cost you [at least] $130, however. Plus postage.
