According to the dot + line, they printed 23,187:

This allowed them to layer colors during the printing of 23,187 faces without the painstaking procedure of hand painting each.

fxguide backs this up:

Between the various Kubo puppets used on set, there were over 23,000 RP-printed faces.

There were 11,007 unique mouth expressions and 4,429 brow expressions for Kubo. And with multiple Kubo puppets being used on sets there were well over 20,000 expressions printed.
