The present invention provides a hydrogen production process, which is capable of producing hydrogen, which is a clean source of energy, simply and conveniently without using conventionally-used ammonia, with an extremely high level of safety. In accordance with the present invention, hydrogen is produced by substituting hydrogen for free oxygen in mayenite (CaAlOO) to obtain hydrogen-substituted mayenite (CaAlOH) and reacting the resultant hydrogen-substituted mayenite (CaAlOH) with water to produce hydrogen, and hydrogen is produced by substituting hydrogen for free oxygen in mayenite (CaAlOO) to obtain hydrogen-substituted mayenite (CaAlOH), irradiating the resultant hydrogen-substituted mayenite (CaAlOH) with ultraviolet rays to obtain conductive mayenite (CaAlOe), and reacting the resultant conductive mayenite (CaAlOe) with water to produce hydrogen.

An ink composition includes a water resistant aluminum pigment and water. The water resistant aluminum pigment is formed of an aluminum pigment and a covering film that contains Si and is formed on the surface of the aluminum pigment. A 50% average particle diameter of a corresponding circle obtained by calculation from areas of X-Y plain surfaces of the aluminum pigment is in a range from 0.5 pm to 3 pm. The coverage ratio of the covering film on the surface of the aluminum pigment, calculated from presence ratios of C, O, Al, and Si detected by XPS measurement at an incident angle of 30&#xb0;, is in a range from 30% to 90%.
