I like the top one, (maybe a bit too green) but I don't think you'd have any problems on Amazon.

I use different colour hands for different stories, but they don't really work in black and white.

The benefit of that one is it works reasonably well as a photocopy too. I'm thinking of having some printed up in the style of a fanzine so I can sell them at gigs and maybe through distros if I can get the unit price low enough.
