Actually the zazzle site is a bit confusing as it says to make the image be
smaller or equal :

Posters & Prints: 100ppi
The images that you upload will be converted to 100ppi (pixels per inch) if
not already at this resolution. This means every 100 pixels in your image
will become 1 inch when printed. For example, if you submit a 4000 pixel by
3500 pixel image for a poster, it will be printed at 40" by 35". This is
because: 4000 pixels divided by 100 pixels/inch = 40 inches, 3500 pixels
divided by 100 pixels/inch = 35 inches.

We recommend that you add images that are smaller than, or equal to, the
maximum sizes:


Portfolio (vertical):  1100 pixels x 1650 pixels  = 16.5" x 11"
Portfolio (horizontal):  1650 pixels x 1100 pixels  = 11" x 16.5"
Small (vertical):  1500 pixels x 2250 pixels  = 15" x 22.5"
Small (horizontal):  2250 pixels x 1500 pixels  = 22.5" x 15"
Large (vertical):  2300 pixels x 3450 pixels  = 23" x 34.5"
Large (horizontal):  3450 pixels x 2300 pixels  = 34.5" x 23"
Huge (vertical):  3500 pixels x 5250 pixels  = 35" x 52.5"
Huge (horizontal):  5250 pixels x 3500 pixels  = 52.5" x 35"
Colossal (vertical):  7800 pixels x 5200 pixels  = 78" x 52"
Colossal (horizontal):  5200 pixels x 7800 pixels  = 52" x 78"

Um very confusing.
