CMYK Settings In CS6 vs CS2 for Screen Printing Shirts

Hello,
I am trying to print t-shirts, through screen printing.

i the office where we learned how to print multicolor images like this:
http://cdn.cnwimg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/beyonce-knowels-net-worth-1024x768.jpg

they used cs2 went to mode > cmyk, then printed every single channel by itself. pretty straight forward, but in the office the cmyk it created was completely different then what i get when i cmyk images on my computer with cs6.

on my cs6 it converts images like that, and has in the complete black (#000000) sections still some yellow, magenta and cyan... which makes absolutely no sense for screen printing.

it downloaded cs2 since it is free but it isn't compatible with mavericks. i then downloaded cs3 and i have the same issue. what could be the problem or am i just using the wrong color profile? i basically want to split my rgb into cmyk and i don't want to have #000000 color show up on any chanel except for black.

I think that what you are looking for is "maximum black generation" (Note: it also goes under different names).

This is a common problem and there is a lot on the web about it. Here's one brief explanation:

Let me know if this isn't what you are looking for.
