Reusable Backgrounds

Create a consistent look and feel across multiple letters by providing backgrounds for letterheads, logos, footer information and branding.

Uploading a Background

Backgrounds can be uploaded directly from the Intelliprint dashboard, or via the API.

You can upload backgrounds as PDF or Word files.

Node.js SDK
Node.js
import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

import fs from 'fs'

const bg = await ip.backgrounds.create({
  file: fs.createReadStream('path/to/my/background.pdf'),
  name: 'Company Letterhead'
})

console.log(`Background created: ${bg.id}`)

Using a Background in a Print Job

You can provide two distinct backgrounds in a print job, background.first_page and background.other_pages. The background.first_page is applied to only the first page of the letter, and background.other_pages is applied to all the other pages in a letter.

Typically, you would use the background.first_page for a letterhead, and background.other_pages for a continuation design or footer information.

Node.js SDK
Node.js
import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

const printJob = await ip.prints.create({
  background: { 
    first_page: 'bg_1234567890', 
    other_pages: 'bg_1234567890'
  }, 
  // ...Other properties.
})

console.log(`Print job created: ${printJob.id}`)
