I am sure Rembrandt didn't print them at a factory by thousands.

Rembrandt, like most of the "old masters" in art, ran a studio that employed many painters. He put his name on a lot of things he didn't paint entirely by himself. It's not quite the same as printing, but the idea that he was essentially running a factory isn't entirely wrong.
