History[]
The duo had first met 7 years earlier while attending high-school together in Vista, California, a suburb located in North San Diego County.
The name Imputor? is said to be a made-up contraction of the phrase "I am a computer." It was inspired by the title track Select Imputor? from Plastiq Phantom's debut CD-R EP which was released by the label in 1999.
The official logo of the label is a 5.25" floppy disk, a nostalgic relic from the founders' childhood exposure to computers.
In addition to releasing its own records, Imputor? has distributed other labels including , , and Mass Mvmnt[citation needed]
