Use these resources as a starting point to set up print ready files. Templates files are available for our most common and popular products/sizes. Template files are set up at 300DPI* for ease of use, but JONDO can accept any DPI between 32-300.
For an in depth guide on what print ready files are and how to set them up with JONDO, check out our dedicated blog.
Printer Profile
We recommend for ICC profiles to be embedded in the image file. Adobe RGB (1998) is best suited for artwork while sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is best suited for photography. In the absence of an ICC profile, U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 will be referenced. If soft proofing, we recommend SWOP and sRGB for previewing.
Although JPEGs can be submitted in CMYK, we highly recommend saving JPEGs in the RGB color space or mode for best results. All files will be assessed in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space. If a JPEG is submitted in another color space, the RGB color profile for the image will be referenced.

– On JONDO GO, the bleed for mirror and color wraps is added by the system so it can be excluded from the print file. Include the bleed in the print file for full image wraps.
Face Masks
– Face masks have an added 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) bleed in the print file that allows for extra material on the mask for sewing.
– Keep critical content within guidelines as scrunching of the mask after sewing may cause content in corners from being clearly visible.
Mugs
– Mug print files account for a full wraparound print (excluding 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) handle width and 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) respective top/bottom margins).
– On JONDO GO, a composite high resolution print file is created from separate front and back image files. Use the corresponding front/back templates.
Pet Bandanas
– Pet bandanas have an added 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) bleed in the print file that allows for extra material on the pet bandana for sewing.
– Keep critical content within guides.
Paper / Peel & Stick Prints
– File templates for paper prints and peel & stick prints can be used interchangeably as these do not have a bleed.
– Paper prints that include a white border do not need to account for the border in the print file. The border is added by our system.
Pillows
– Pillows have an added 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) bleed in the print file that allows for extra material on the pillow for sewing.
– Keep critical content within guides.
