Look at the top of the Gimp Window where it shows the size 225 x 375 pixels. That prints @ 300 ppi  quality  0.75" x 1.25" You send that to the printer, the printer scales it up, it becomes blurred, especially that small text.

Did you ever look at that video I posted ? Towards the end I said Do not use the on-screen text editing until you know what you are doing     Selecting part of the text to adjust font / size is ok, but I still advise using separate text layers for each part. Makes editing that bit easier.

That selected section with text size 11 is too small and it looks like Chevalier of the is even smaller. I would not go below maybe 20 pix

As an example, different size text, original and rotated. Zoomed in you might see some additional antialiasing which makes the text a little fuzzy and often lighter.




Then the Real World View. What it looks like printed.  Sorry this has to be a photo of the monitor to show a 'real inch scale'  Go to View menu -> and untick dot-for-dot and set the zoom to 100%



Then it is up to you to decide on sizes.
Edit: I just looked at the Bodoni 72 font that you use. You might want to reconsider that one. Some of the character stokes are very thin. Get lost in small size text.

As they say in Mexico: "Uno Ves Mas" [One More Time]!

I have revised the template and am hopeful, this time, it's a go.  I value your input:
