Photoshop CS4 Black

I hope this is the right place to post this, forgive me if it's not.
In previous versions of Photoshop I've been able to switch the default black that is used from the original C:73 M:63 Y:62 K:100 to C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 by changing the CMYK color settings to use UCR instead of GCR (which we wanted to do anyway for our press, which helped immensely with our color issues we were having). In CS4 this is no longer the case. UCR still gives us the Adobe rich black instead of just pure black.
Does anyone know how to change this to make it work like before? Our designers are used to choosing the default black in the tools pallet and it'd be nice for them to not have to go in to the color picker each time they need to use 100% black and not the rich black.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
Use GCR with maximum black generation. That should make your default black black-ink-only. You probably wouldn't want to use such a profile for converting photographic images.
