: Although there may be other terms, this seems to me the clearest and less confusing term to use in this context.

spot varnish
Réserve de vernis or vernis sélectif/réserve would essentially be a type of highlight on a particular section of your print that you would first mark in the image file.
That's translated into English with spot varnish or spot UV.
I added two references, but really, if you type in Google any of the terms I've listed, you'll get plenty of results.

: It's actually the opposite, here: spots WITHOUT varnish. / It's not "perhaps" — the s/term here is the ANTONYM of 'vernis sélectif' — it's an 'absence sélective de vernis' if you like.

Perhaps, but she said she found the definition. Unless that meant it was given by the client, the meaning of the terms as I described them is well documented, unlike the processes in her definition. Ultimately, OP has the most context, so it's up to her.

varnish mask
I don't know about this as an official technical term, but it would be consistent with other kinds of areas being defined to 'mask off' something.
Discussion
"En imprimerie, une réserve est un emplacement sans vernis.
Ce qui nous donnerait donc quelque chose comme varnishless."
http://forum.lokanova.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5690&view=prev...
which backs up your definition and Phil's suggestion.
But also this:
"Systèmes anti contrefaçon: Pharma Lab tient à disposer de systèmes de sécurité sur ses étiquettes et ses étuis. Fermeture sécurisée sur tous les étuis, réserve de vernis permettant de voir la DCI en reflet"
http://www.pharmalab.fr/index.php/glossaire.html
which seems to be saying the opposite (shiny area to give a reflection).
So definitely a varnished or unvarnished area then - very confusing! But the definition you found would seem to fit the context...Maybe go with "unvarnished" and check with client?
I'd normally say "unvarnished areas", but here it presumably means some areas don't have a glossy surface applied.
