On my Mac when you edit a colour on the Colour Pallette choosing the Slider Colour Picker provides options for Greyscale, RGB, CYMK and HSB sliders.
If you have particular colours you want to use then you can create your own custom Colour Pallette. If you assign the colour to each cell using the CYMK sliders you should end up with colours that will print as you want them.
You need to be mindful however that it is difficult to match screen colours to print colours, and different printers will produce different results. For this reason my ad agency graphic artist friend sends all of his work to the printshops in PDF format - it provides the most consistant and accurate results, and reduces his risk of a botched print run which could cost him thousands of dollars.
