If the output image is sent to a node that enlarges the image, then the text may become blurry. To keep the text sharp, either avoid using nodes that enlarge the image, or else choose a larger font size so that the output image is larger. For example, if creating a layer from the image, use the Make Image Layer (Real Size) node to keep the image at its original size.
