A method and device for removing spots from a printing plate of a printing machine having a moistening mechanism with an application roller and an immersion roller immersed in a container with a moistening agent and operated in contact with the application roller for application of a moistening agent to the printing plate, wherein the application roller is driven by a plate cylinder connected to the application roller in a form-locking manner, with an interposition of a switching coupling, so that a peripheral speed of the application roller in a coupled position is lower than that of the plate cylinder. The drive also includes a hydraulic cylinder connected by a scanner and a switch to an electric motor for driving the immersion roller.
