Lot going on here.For those of you who are using Fiery, what are your default settings on this screen and why did you choose them?
Calibration.We have a persistent problem with one of the canon printers (out of four we are running) where everything is printing with a tint of pink. It’s not just one customer’s file. Canon techs have gone over the machine and say there’s nothing wrong with it. They’ve reloaded fiery software multiple times and recalibrated. They’ve tried to blame everything from paper to lighting to specific customers.
We’ve always used the GrayCol profile but I realized if I turn it to Bypass Conversion the pink tone goes away so now I’m questioning our entire workflow.

The machine has been calibrated to death at this point. I had the techs come calibrate it themselves and they sent canon’s fiery expert. And we tried using a new spectrometer as well and new white plate.Calibration.
I’ll give changing it to perceptual a try tomorrow. It just seems like a bad idea to leave it on bypass conversion. There’s a point where too many options make this whole house of cards tricky to diagnose.An overall tint on the sheet sounds like a rendering intent issue rather than a problem with the ICC Profile
If your intent is not set to Perceptual, change it and see if this removed the background tint, which I suspect is the colour management attempting to simulate paper colour.
Are you calibrated for coated and uncoated G7? I had an issue with this the other day where my coated G7 profile was completely oversaturated and running pink. I lied and said it was uncoated and the color cast vanished. I'm kind of considering just only using the uncoated G7 profile since the coated one seems so terrible.

I did whatever the color specialist had me do and I maintain them. It's a G7 Gracol profile for uncoated and coated.Do you create custom profiles?
