Well,
I can’t answer your question, although I know there’s a way to provide separate C,M,Y, and K files (post script?).
When I first read this though, I thought "They can’t use a CMYK file?" I’d get a new printer – sounds like they may not be the best source to use.
I routinely provide CMYK files to our printer.

Peace,

You should ask the printer what they want from you. otherwise we’re all just guessing.
You could select Split channels from the Channels palette menu and save the individual channels as psd files.
You can make four grayscale images from the individual channels but your printer really should be able to handle a CMYK file unless you are requesting a special printing process.
And if I split channels, I must flatten image but I have some transparant areas. Will this be valid once I flatten image?
Because the transparant areas look white instead of transparant after flatten image!
(wow, I must sound like a real newbie! I am in this area!)
Somehow I am guessing you are sending a Photoshop native file to your printer.
Have you tried giving them an EPS in CMYK or a TIFF in CMYK as well? (you’ll have to flatten, so make this in a copy of the file).

Well, transparent areas will be the color of the t-shirt you are printing on because they don’t print with white ink in a cmyk printing process.
