回复：办公用品你们通过时间逆转把用过的设备送回过去，让它们变回了全新，我很感谢你们为节约成本做出的努力。但我们的打印业务部门指出，他们的盈利模式就是出售低价打印机和高价墨水。如果墨水能够通过时间逆转变成一种无限可持续资源，那将会对销售额造成重大影响。廉价、可再生的耗材只对顾客有利，不会惠及公司。

RE: Stationery Supplies
While we appreciate your efforts to save on costs by reverting used equipment back through time to render it new again, our Printing Department has flagged that their profitability depends on sales of low-cost printers and high-cost ink. If ink should become an infinitely sustainable resource through temporal reversion, it would significantly impact sales. Cheap, renewable consumables only serve the customer, not the company.
