We provide details of our SCUBA-2 data reduction pipeline, optimized for slightly extended sources, and including a calibration model adjusted to match conventions used in other far-infrared (FIR) data. We measure total integrated fluxes for the entire JINGLE sample in 10 infrared/submillimetre bands, including all WISE, Herschel-PACS, Herschel-SPIRE, and SCUBA-2 850 µm maps, statistically accounting for the contamination by CO(J = 3-2) in the 850 µm band. Of our initial sample of 193 galaxies, 191 are detected at 250 µm with a =5s significance. In the SCUBA-2 850 µm band we detect 126 galaxies with =3s significance. The distribution of the JINGLE galaxies in FIR/sub-millimetre colour-colour plots reveals that the sample is not well fit by single modified-blackbody models that assume a single dust-emissivity index (ß). Instead, our new 850 µm data suggest either that a large fraction of our objects require ß < 1.5, or that a model allowing for an excess of sub-mm emission (e.g. a broken dust emissivity law, or a very cold dust component ?10 K) is required. We provide relations to convert FIR colours to dust temperature and ß for JINGLE-like galaxies. For JINGLE the FIR colours correlate more strongly with star-formation rate surface-density rather than the stellar surface-density, suggesting heating of dust is greater due to younger rather than older stellar-populations, consistent with the low proportion of early-type galaxies in the sample.
