When directly providing text/HTML-formatted content for your letters, applying a background can make your letter look more professional and polished.

​
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. 
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. 
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}`)
