In Photoshop go to edit /convert to profile/ custom cmyk and under 
separation options check maximum GCR, this will convert your black to K 
only.

Depending on the client and the chart I will often recreate the chart in 
illustrtator. This is not the fast and dirty method, but I often get 
barely legible charts from clients, and I don't like publishing them 
that way.

Glad You got the emulation working. I would look into indesigns 
scripting to see if it would work a bit better for your needs.
