What makes this wallpaper curl and stink?
Since I can remember, this wallpaper along with some Scalamandre papers curl like crazy once pasted and are annoying to work with. (Lee Jofa Modern

They also have a harsh smell straight out of the roll.
What causes that? Is it the paper stock, coating, inks, sizing, or something else?
Is there a method that helps reduce the curling, or is that just how these papers are? Could it be related to pasting method? For reference, we usually use Roman 880 on these.
