Possible to spot varnish a low-volume run?

    Hey guys, new to the forum and had a quick question.

    I'm getting a brochure/proposal printed on the Xerox iGen4 next week and while I was hoping to get parts of the proposal spot varnished, I quickly found that it was wildly too expensive because it would have to be done on an Offset Press.

    I was wondering if there was any way to get parts of the proposal spot varnished (or at the very least, just the logo on the cover of the proposal) without running it through an Offset Press.

    Forgive the ignorant question, but does the iGen4 have any kind of capability to spot varnish, or "spot gloss" images?

    I would have had this proposal printed on an Offset Press if it were a large run, but I am only printing about 20 of these and while the layout and images are all the same, they all have variable/personalized text. (So as far as I know, a Digital Press is my only option, with the cost per print actually making sense.)

    Would really appreciate it if you know of any options so that I could at least get the logo on the cover of the proposals I'm having printed to stand out more (whether by spot varnish, spot gloss, or some other way (?), without spending an arm and a leg.

    Thanks in advance!

    The Canon IMAGEPRESS C1+ has the capability of spot varnish, not sure about any of the others.
