printing a zoomed out map on esri/tasks/PrintTask vs esri/dijit/Print

JatinPatel — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 17:37:50 GMT

When i zoom out all the way where I can see the entire world, I get two different images from PrintTask vs print dijit.
PrintTask gives me an oval (globe-like) image, while print dojit gives me a flat image. I am trying to acquire a flat image using printtask. Any ideas?

Here is what I have:-----
