Metal Plate Damage

This is my first time using a metal plate. It ended up getting a small pinhole size bump in the print area. Are there any tricks that anyone knows about so that I can get that bump to not show up? I have tried putting vaseline on the blanket, covering the bump with a small piece of tape, putting vaseline on the plate and lessening the amount of impression. Not sure of anything else. Can anyone help my out?

I am using a QM 46-2, if that matters.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Clean your plate cylinder off so nothings behind it that's all you can do otherwise make a new plate

 

plate sav*ur for metal plates. just wipe scratches or holes and they should stop printing.

 

Not much you can do except making new plate, next time make sure back of plate is clean and plate cylinder is clean.
