Is this live text or rasterized (image)? If it's live text, you really should be doing this in InDesign. It will by default set text as K-only overprint. In Photoshop you'll have to do it manually, not to mention that Photoshop will rasterize the text quickly unless you're careful.

 

So what you do in Photoshop is paste into the K channel and fill C/M/Y with white to empty them. In your posted example, the K channel looks good to go as it is, so all you have to do is empty out the other channels.

 

If this was an RGB file, you'd copy the green channel (best contrast), convert to CMYK, and paste into the K channel. Empty the others as per above.

    Emptying a channel means filling it with white. That translates to no ink on press.
