OK I think I finally get what you're looking for. (I hope) Otherwise known as a "Saty-away" that is used for a rich black trap what you need is for the "white" to stay away from the edges of the color so it doesn't show through?

If I'm right what you can do is select the image(s) that contain the color and go to "Object" > Path > Offset Path, and enter -.12mm. this will copy the original path and make it shrink in size by .12mm

Does this help or am I in Left field again?

Sparky

Nice tip, Sparky - that is simpler than the methods I came up with.
