so i really know nothing about print work. i have this ad here, it's a flat, cmyk photoshop file. it's grey scale with one colour (red).
the problem is, the greys are made up of c, m, y, and k, and the press needs the greys to only be made up of K.
is there some simple stupid way to get this done relatively quickly?
i tried binning the cmyk channels and just having it with two spot channels, black and red, but distiller keeps converting the damn greys to have cmy in them even if i tell it not to.
help is greatly appreciated!

duotone?

just go into the color profile and change the document to grayscale.
Image > Mode > Grayscale

nevermind I overlooked the fact you have a red in there.

duotone, greyscale, monochrome, it doesn't matter, it still goes to cmyk values when i print to pdf, regardless of turning colour management off, telling it not to change colours, any of that...

in photoshop select the part/layer that you want to be black & white
go to image > ajustments > hue/saturation
check colorize
set saturation to zero
good luck.
