Those presses are closer, and very early for printing from plates.

The ones printing from stones were more like this one from

Making them wouldn't have taken long. Figuring an unlikely but for math convenient 10x10 sheet,
100cards x 1000 sheets an hour =100,000 cards/hour.
x10 hours of production /day = 1,000,000 cards/day.

Figure 10 colors counting the back, so they could easily turn out 100,000 a day, probably more if the sheet was bigger as was likely, or if they used more than one press.

Add in a couple days for cutting, and a million cards probably took around two weeks.
