An ink composition is provided that includes a compound represented by Formula (I) or (II). (In Formulae (I) and (II), R1 and R2 independently denote a monovalent substituent, R3 to R6 independently denote a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituent, n denotes an integer of 0 to 5, and n′ denotes an integer of 0 to 5; n and n′ are not both 0, when n is 2 or greater a plurality of R1s may be identical to or different from each other, and when n′ is 2 or greater a plurality of R2s may be identical to or different from each other.) There are also provided an inkjet recording method employing the ink composition, and a process for producing a lithographic printing plate, the process including discharging the ink composition onto a hydrophilic support. A printed material and a lithographic printing plate thus obtained are also included in the present invention.
