What is the minimum resolution for a 8x10 print?

When I scale my 8mpix images to 2460x1640 I can order almost any size print.
What I scale the image to 1230x820, the largest I can print is 12x18 but the 8x10 option is NOT there. Is this a bug? :scratch
Nevermind, it shows the 8x10 option for the 1230x820 now.

Also when I scale the image to 1080x720, the largest is a 5x7.

So at what resolution would the 8x10 print option be available?

NOTE: I know that I can restrict a gallery from ordering larger prints. That isn't my point. I am giving someone some images (originals), but I don't want them to be able to use them to print larger than 8x10. Thanks.

    The MINIMUM is 1000x800 but we STRONGLY recommend that you upload all the original pixels possible. Do not upres or downres. More here:

    So should I be uploading the full 3504x2336 image straight from my 20D? They are about 4MB each and takes a very long time to upload when I have a batch of them.

    You can save them at Photoshop JPG 10, which will cut them down nicely, file size wise. JPG 10 is Lab Quality.

    Thanks Andy. I'll try that.
