All coordinates are stored within the app so areas can be marked again at the touch of a button. The IO can be used with most paints although IM recommend their own brand of paint; ProStripe, to deliver excellent professional standard lines, every time. Contractors and can also request custom templates from Intelligent Marking which can be made within a short timeframe ready for use. All templates are stored within the tablet – provided with purchase – that is used to manage the IO with a dedicated smart app which enables users to easily control all relevant parts of the automatic line marking process.
