great product and time money saving idea. You do need to trim the ink cartridges door to be able to close it properly with the ink hoses.Best Deals for iE (iEagle) Continuous Ink Supply System CISS (Replaces LC75 LC79
I found this to be a great Ink refill product with copious amounts of ink delivered along with a seemingly well-built but somewhat awkward continuous ink delivery device. I found it easier to modify my ink door rather than to use the supplied closed door hinged system. Other than having to modify my printer I could not ask for a better system. This of course is just my opinion as I'm sure others may or may not find that this is the right system for them but I do urge if you have the funds to try this system.Honest reviews on iE (iEagle) Continuous Ink Supply System CISS (Replaces LC75 LC79
I have used CIS systems in other makes of printers for several years and have really never had any issues. In this case, using this with a Brother printer has been less than pleasing.Installation was relatively simple (you just need to cut/clip a tab out of the ink door so the tubes can pass through without being crimped).
First few prints were good, then the clogging began. I attribute the first few prints being good to remaining ink in the print heads. I contacted the seller who suggested checking to be sure the hoses were not crimped anywhere, especially the clip on the bottom of the reservoirs. All has been check and it appears ink flows as it should. Tanks are on the same shelf as printer, so gravity isn't the issue.
If I print a single color print right now, it will probably print fine. If I print more than 2 or three the colors go all wacky, as the blue and yellow WILL stop flowing. If I run 2-3 cleaning cycles, the colors return to full-function... for about 1 print. Then the colors begin to go out again (same two colors).
This was never an issue with OEM cartridges. I'm about ready to put a new set of Brother cartridges back in to see if print consistency returns.
Not much value in a CIS system if you have to use 10X the amount of ink to print a single page. I personally would look elsewhere for a CIS system for a Brother printer. I hope I am an isolated case.

I am editing this review as an update the print head clogging has continued to worsen to the point of not being able to print even a single page with color without the heads clogging. I can run two or three print cleaning cycles the test print come out ok (but not perfect) and try to print a single page -and the heads will clog up -
So I replaced the CISS tanks with genuine Brother tanks and ran a single cleaning cycle now I can print page after page with no clogs. There is definitely a compatibility issue with the ink itself they are shipping in/with this CISS. I have no doubts the system with compatible ink would be fine.
I have initiated a return request with Amazon. We will see how this goes.
At this time I will say that I suggest you STAY FAR AWAY from this, unless the seller/maker can verify they have corrected whatever the problem is with the ink.

Plugged it into our Brother all-in-one, used a bit of paper to fake the printer into thinking that the ink door was closed, and we were up and running! Works like a champ. I've run the cleaning cycle once (there was a jet that wasn't performing) but it's been strong ever since.Cons:
-The ink does not provide as vibrant colors as the Brother ink, and certainly not as nice as HP/Epson.
-I noticed that the filter was clogged with ink almost immediately, probably due to an air bubble appearing on the surface of the ink and popping. You must make sure that there is adequate airflow through the top of the ink tank, otherwise the ink won't flow, so I loosened the filter.
-It can be tricky to deal with the door of the printer. I folded a tiny piece of paper and jammed it in, to fake the printer into thinking the door was closed. Another option is to cut the door, making a space for the ink tubing, or use a door that they provide.
-You must print a significant amount in order for this system to be useful. If you don't use it at least once, 5 days a week, you may have problems.
Pros:
-Really easy installation, compared with the Epson CISS systems!
-If you are doing any kind of high volume color printing, however, this is an amazingly cost-effective solution!
-Does not seem to clog the printer
-Color/black is acceptable for most business purposes.
