This is fairly typical of a low resolution PNG slide print. Have you tried
increasing the slide size using
File | Page Set-up | Then adjusting the dimensions of the slide (evenly to
maintain ratios) by doubling or tripling of both height and width.

This will increase the number of pixels that PowerPoint feels it needs to
generate. When you save to PNG, after adjusting the slide "size", you
should see cleaner, better looking PNG files.
