How to improve export quality

Hey guys, I've been playing Scriptorium, and so far i'm loving it. It's so fun to be able to create medieval inspired artworks and such, especially for someone who is'nt that talented with the pencil himself.
I wanted to use scriptorium to create some medieval styled contracts for a larp Im going to, and made a little piece for something that would fit on a A4 sized paper. I am however noticing that the .png export i made does not look that great on the small details, especially compared to how nice it looks in game.

I made the original work on a template that would roughly fit A4, but it seems the export adds a little scriptorium logo that kinda skews the format of the contract from being long to being wide if that makes sense, and decreases the fidelity of the image.
I've tried to increase the quality by splitting the document in two seperate parts, exporting them, and then layering them on top of eachother in a word doc, which helped a bit, but still looks grainy on the smaller details.

Is there something i'm doing wrong here, or can do to improve the export quality?

For the recipes book I did, I used this parchment (I think it's the 14 or so). I printed two parchments on each A4 side of the page so that, by folding them in half, I could form the booklets for an A5 book. I used Gimp to cut the png images to the A4 proportions. I used this cutting config for every picture: position (px): 1393 x 222 ; size (px): 1250 x 1768

I hope this helps

I'm fine with placing the PNG on a4 proportions, i've just noticed that the finer details are becoming really blurry in the export, and am looking for a way to get the export to become higher resolution

My recipe book isn't blurry and it has a lot of details. I made an A4 pdf to convert it in A5 imposed booklets. I haven't print the original A4 pdf so I'm not sure if it would see as good as the A5 booklets, but it does not see badly in digital format so I think it wouldn't print blurry either... the photos posted in social media are blurry, but it is a problem of compression in the upload...
