What is the best size to print a picture?
If both sides of your image are over 1000 pixels and the image is in focus when you enlarge it on your monitor, it should print very well at the 24 x 36 inch range. With super resolution, we may be able to enlarge it up to 40 x 60.
Is it possible to print 10×13 images?
You should be able to print them if the image is good enough (sharp/well lit), to produce a 10 x 13 inch image natively. With a little help from image processing software, you can improve this to some extent.
Can you print smaller than the resolution of an image?
For any given image, you can almost always safely print smaller than the full-resolution print. However, sometime making a very large jump down in size can make an image slightly soft due to how the printer or print software interprets all that excess information.

With super resolution, we may be able to enlarge it up to 40 x 60.
