Text in Gimp is vector so long as you only use the Text Tool. If you manipulate the text layer in any way (rotate, scale, etc) the text layer is rasterized. So if you create your image the correct size in pixels (ie no scaling is needed) the text will remain crisp.
Your final output is png. So even if you use Inkscape the end result is bitmap. The advantage of Inkscape (vector) is that it can be scaled without loss of quality. But if no scaling (or other manipulation) is involved there is no real advantage in using vectors.
Hi,
My bad.
Yes this is intended for a t-shirt design. Merch by Amazon requires a 4500x 5400 300 dpi output to .png
Ahh, so text in Gimp remains vector?
When I have scaled up my images like 200%- 400 % I can see edges that aren't clean (see attachments)
This comes straight from text using the text tool only
