Whenever materials state "use with adequate ventilation", what they really mean is exactly what you propose . . . do it outdoors! (If you really want to be "safe").
I have to confess to have played fast and loose with safety issues during my working life. I have no idea the quantity or type of emissions heat-setting inks released into the work-area atmosphere before curing . . . they seemed to be pretty tame, and mostly inert, although they do have a characteristic odor. Heat curing definitely releases volatiles you don't want to breathe in any concentration . . . the materials we used cured between 175 and 220F.
